Suggested Answer: D

HTTP(S) load balancing is a Google-recommended practice for distributing web traffic across multiple regions and zones, and providing high availability, scalability, and security for web applications. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and can handle SSL/TLS termination and encryption. It also integrates with Cloud CDN, Cloud Armor, and Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for enhanced performance and protection. A MIG can be used as a backend service for HTTP(S) load balancing, and can automatically scale and heal the VM instances that host the web application.

To configure DNS for HTTP(S) load balancing, you need to create an A record in your DNS public zone with the load balancer's IP address. This will map your domain name to the load balancer's IP address, and allow users to access your web application using the domain name. A CNAME record is not recommended, as it can cause latency and DNS resolution issues. A private zone is not suitable, as it is only visible within your VPC network, and not to the public internet.

I vaguely recall that Managed Instance Groups can help with scaling, but I’m not confident if that’s necessary for a monthly batch job.

I practiced a similar question where we had to choose between Compute Engine and Kubernetes. I feel like Compute Engine might be simpler for this batch process.

The question is pretty clear, but I'm not sure if starting and stopping the instance as needed is the best approach. I'll need to weigh the pros and cons of each option carefully.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences between the Preemptible VM and Preemptible nodes in GKE. I'll need to review the details of each option to make the best decision.

Okay, I've got this. The key is that the question is asking about a procedure that uses a clot-dissolving agent. That points to thrombolytic therapy as the correct answer. B is the way to go.

All these options sound pretty technical. I'm just hoping the correct answer doesn't involve any coding or complex setup. I'm more of a 'turn it on and let it run' kind of person.
