Google Associate Cloud Engineer Exam - Topic 2 Question 75 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Associate Cloud Engineer exam
Question #: 75
Topic #: 2
[All Associate Cloud Engineer Questions]

You want to host your video encoding software on Compute Engine. Your user base is growing rapidly, and users need to be able 3 to encode their videos at any time without interruption or CPU limitations. You must ensure that your encoding solution is highly available, and you want to follow Google-recommended practices to automate operations. What should you do?

Suggested Answer: D

Instance groups are collections of virtual machine (VM) instances that you can manage as a single entity. Instance groups can help you simplify the management of multiple instances, reduce operational costs, and improve the availability and performance of your applications. Instance groups support autoscaling, which automatically adds or removes instances from the group based on increases or decreases in load. Autoscaling helps your applications gracefully handle increases in traffic and reduces cost when the need for resources is lower. You can set the autoscaling policy based on CPU utilization, load balancing capacity, Cloud Monitoring metrics, or a queue-based workload. In this case, since the video encoding software is CPU-intensive, setting the autoscaling based on CPU utilization is the best option to ensure high availability and optimal performance.Reference:

A and B are outdated methods, stick with instance groups!

Wait, can you really just replace instances like that? Sounds risky!

I remember we discussed using standalone instances, but it seems like instance groups would be more efficient for this scenario. I’m leaning towards option D.

I feel like deploying to instance groups is definitely the way to go, but I can't recall if we should just increase instances or set up autoscaling.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about autoscaling being important for high availability. Maybe option D is the right choice?

I think option C sounds familiar because it mentions instance groups, which we practiced in class for scaling applications.

I'm pretty confident I know the right approach for this. The question is specifically asking us to follow Google-recommended practices, so using an instance group with autoscaling is definitely the way to go. I'll make sure to select option D.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to use an instance group and set up autoscaling based on CPU utilization. That way, the system will automatically scale up and down to handle the growing user base without any manual intervention. Option D looks like the right choice here.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different instance options. Do I need to manually increase instances when CPU utilization is high, or can I set up autoscaling? I'll need to review the details on instance groups and autoscaling to make sure I understand the differences.

This seems like a classic high availability and scalability question. I'd focus on the key requirements - the need for high availability and the ability to scale up as usage grows. The instance group options (C and D) seem like the way to go here.

Wait, I thought the ISSO was responsible for managing the security of the system during C&A, not the ISSE. I better double-check my understanding before answering.

This seems like a classic case of a personality clash within the team. I'd probably start by talking to the team lead and the experienced engineer separately, try to understand their perspectives, and then see if I can facilitate a discussion between them to find a resolution.

Ah, I see. The options include "Left cursor" and "Up cursor", which makes me think the answer is probably one of those, since they're more specific to navigating the command history. I'll go with D, Up cursor.

Totally. And setting the autoscaling based on CPU utilization, like in option D, seems like the most straightforward and efficient approach.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards options C or D. Deploying to an instance group seems like the way to go to get that autoscaling functionality.

I agree. We can't have any interruptions or CPU limitations, so we need a solution that can scale up and down automatically based on demand.

Hmm, this is an interesting one. We really need to think about how to handle this growing user base and ensure high availability for the video encoding service.

C) Deploy your solution to an instance group, and increase the number of available instances whenever you see high CPU utilization in Cloud Monitoring.
