Your company operates nationally and plans to use GCP for multiple batch workloads, including some that are not time-critical. You also need to use GCP services that are HIPAA-certified and manage service costs.
How should you design to meet Google best practices?
To design a GCP solution that meets Google's best practices for operating nationally with multiple batch workloads, including some that are not time-critical, and using HIPAA-compliant services while managing service costs, you should provision standard VMs to ensure reliability for all workloads, especially those that might be time-critical. Disabling and then discontinuing use of non-HIPAA-compliant GCP services and APIs ensures regulatory compliance while still allowing an assessment period to gauge the impact of discontinuation. This approach balances cost management with compliance and operational reliability.
Disabling and then discontinuing allows you to see the effects of not using the APIs, so you can gauge (check) alternatives. So that leaves B and D as viable answers. The question says only some are not time-critical which implies others are... this means preemptible VMs are good because they will secure a spot for scaling when needed. So I'm also going to choose B.
If others are time-critical, preemtible does not fit. Answer is D.
And the others are not spoken about. By taking the question just by the context that it sets, preemptible is what I choose. So it's B according to me.
No mention of others in the question. In an exam it's important to not being in individual assumptions and focus on the information in question. Key word here is "not time-critical"
agree otherwise answer goes to non-preemtible VM's
Ver well said..."In an exam it's important to not being in individual assumptions and focus on the information in question. Key word here is "not time-critical""
correct
Correctly explained
Why you decided to emphasize on key word "not time-critical" but not" "operates nationally"?
They say that some (not all) of the Batch workloads are not time critical which implies that there are time critical Batch workloads for which Preemptible VMs are not appropriate, so going with D as the answer
I dont think it means use premtible vms for everything. It says to use preemtible vms to reduce cost
Assumption here is that cost is more important that the time critical batches, therefore use preemptible instances. Disable and discontinue is a better option as it gives you opportunity to see the impact before blasting any APIs or services that are not certified.
I think the answer should be D. some of the batches are not time critical which means some are. Choosing premtible VMs may mean time critical batches may be affected in some cases. Even though the solution needs to be cost effective, it should not come at cost of requirements. Hence D
Premptible VMs is better for batch workloads which are critical and not critical since it takes bit longer to complete the load when some VMs are preempted . It greatly reduces cost with using preempted vms for batch workloads. B is the better answer
It took me a while to finally decided the answer should be B, for the following reasons : - in the question it said "multiple batch workloads" it doesn't matter if it's critical or not it's still patching , then we need to pick Preemptable VM - from GCP documentation ( https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance/hipaa#unique_features ) , they explicitly talked about Preemabtible VM covered by the HIPAA , and this question want t make sure that we know this info.
https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance/hipaa#unique_features
ans is B - HAHAHA
When it is "some" batches are non-critical - when we want to focus on price reduction and if it is batch apps, then we can definitely choose "Pre-emptible VMs". Also non-compliant APIs needs to be disabled for sure (APIs can be enabled if there is a need). Putting altogether, B is the right answer
I think answer is D cos for using preemtible instances, you need to guarantee batch jobs are able to continue without losing data or causing an issue when vm restarts. There is no that guarantee in the question.
vote B it's obviously, keywords "multiple batch workloads" and "not time-critical", preemptible vm first choice.
B is ok
To design a GCP solution that meets Google's best practices for operating nationally with multiple batch workloads, including some that are not time-critical, and using HIPAA-compliant services while managing service costs, you should provision standard VMs in the same region to reduce cost, and use GCP services that are HIPAA-compliant as needed. Therefore, the correct option is C. Preemptible VMs can provide cost savings, but they are not recommended for workloads that are not time-critical, as they may be interrupted at any time. Provisioning standard VMs in the same region will provide better performance and stability, and can still be cost-effective by using features such as sustained-use discounts and committed use discounts.
B looks good to me
D As per the requirement, some of the batches are not time critical - which means some are critical. Choosing preemptible VMs may mean time critical batches may be affected. Cost effective solutions should not come at cost of requirements. Disabling and then discontinuing allows you to see the effects of not using the APIs, so you can gauge (check) alternatives.
If the question would have said: "The batch are not time-critical", then Option B with preentible VMs. BUT, it clearly points that only SOME are not time-critical". Option D is the only one that satisfies all conditions
What is the difference between A and B other than adding the obvious that you'd disable them if you discontinue using them. This is the most obnoxiously confusing question I've ever read and someone else pointed out that *some* are not time critical which implies others are time critical.
D is the correct answer and for the following regions: 1. Deploying a read replica and then manually failing over by stopping the current cloud SQL instance will only impact the authentication layer, which is what we're looking to test. 2. Stopping all VM's won't have an impact on the authentication layer testing becasuse Cloud SQL is a PaaS service, you cannot just turn off the VM's
