Google Cloud Digital Leader Exam - Topic 1 Question 79 Discussion

Your organization runs an application on virtual machines in Google Cloud. This application processes incoming images. This activity takes hours to create a result for each image. The workload for this application normally stays at a certain baseline level, but at regular intervals it spikes to a much greater workload. Your organization needs to control the cost to run this application.What should your organization do?
C) Leverage sustained use discounts for your virtual machines
A) Purchase committed use discounts for the baseline load
B) Purchase committed use discounts for the expected spike load
D) Run the workload on preemptible VM instances

The workload for this application normally stays at a certain baseline level, but at regular intervals it spikes to a much greater workload. Your organization needs to control the cost to run this application.

What should your organization do?

Suggested Answer: C

The idea of the Sustained Use discount is that the longer you run a VM instance in any given month, the bigger discount you will get from the list price.

I feel like option B might not be the best choice since we only need to cover the baseline, but I’m not completely confident about that.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think sustained use discounts might be beneficial, so option C could be a good fit too.

I'm not entirely sure, but option D sounds interesting since preemptible VMs could save costs during those spikes, right?

I think we should consider option A because it mentions committed use discounts for the baseline load, which seems like a stable choice.

Okay, I think I've got a strategy here. The key is to leverage the sustained use discounts for the baseline load, and then use preemptible VMs to handle the spike workload. That should help keep the overall costs down.

If the spikes are that unpredictable, I'd say B is the safest bet. Committed use discounts for the max load, no surprises.

Option D sounds tempting, but with the critical nature of the image processing, I don't think preemptible VMs are a good idea. Gotta go with C.
