Question 3

A Cloud Run service experiences unpredictable traffic spikes. Which cost optimization strategy is most appropriate for this serverless workload?

Accepted Answer

Set maximum instance limits to cap costs while accepting some request rejection

Answer

Setting maximum instance limits on Cloud Run caps your cost exposure by bounding autoscaling, though it may cause request throttling at extreme load.

Question 4

Which GCP storage class should be used for compliance data that must be retained for 7 years but is almost never accessed?

Accepted Answer

Archive storage

Answer

Archive storage has the lowest per-GB storage cost on GCP and is designed for data accessed less than once a year, making it ideal for long-term compliance archives.

Question 5

An organization runs batch analytics jobs nightly for 4 hours each day. Which pricing model best reduces cost for these Compute Engine workloads?

Spot VMs (formerly Preemptible VMs)

Answer

Spot VMs offer up to 91% discount over on-demand pricing and are ideal for fault-tolerant batch workloads that can tolerate preemption.
