GCP ACE · Question 13 · Domain 2.2: Planning and configuring compute resources
You are designing an architecture for a batch processing workload that renders 3D animations. The rendering jobs take about 2 hours to complete. The workload is fault-tolerant; if a job is interrupted, it can simply be restarted from the beginning without data loss. You want to minimize compute costs.
Which Compute Engine configuration is the MOST cost-effective for this workload?
Answer options:
Use standard VMs with a 1-year Committed Use Discount.
Use Spot VMs (or Preemptible VMs).
Use custom machine types with exactly the CPU and RAM needed.
Use sole-tenant nodes.
