Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect PCA — Topic 1 Question 250

Question

Your company is expanding its AI-powered operations nationwide and has chosen accelerator-based compute for the AI workloads. The batch image processing workloads are not time-sensitive and can tolerate interruptions. You need to rapidly deploy cost-effective accelerator nodes for these batch tasks, ensuring rapid deployment and data persistence when necessary. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Deploy spot VMs with attached persistent disks and implement checkpoint mechanisms.
