Practice Test 2 | Google Cloud Certified Associate Cloud Engineer | Dumps | Mock Test
You are working for a genomics company in the US that is planning to conduct data analysis on around 10 TB of data. The company would require 20 vCPUs and 60GB of RAM for the same. You have been asked to figure out the cheapest option to conduct the analysis. Which of the following would you use?
A. Sustained discount
B. Committed use discount
C. Preemptible instances
D. Cloud Functions
Explanation:
Correct Answer – C
C is correct: Preemptible instances are the cheapest option available. They can cut down the cost up to 80% compared to on-demand instances.
A is incorrect: Sustained discounts are given to you only if your VM is running for the complete month.
B is incorrect: Committed instances are cheaper compared to on-demand but expensive when compared to preemptible instances.
D is incorrect: Cloud Function does not support 20vCPUs and 60GB memory, hence will not serve the purpose.
