Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices Using Cisco Platforms (DEVOPS) — Question 65

A developer is creating an application based on microservices. The application will be used as a central repository for all company's documents. One of the microservices in the application will perform image processing. This microservice must autoscale to meet the current load and avoid down time.

Which metric must be used to trigger autoscaling events?

Answer options

• A. network
• B. CPU/GPU
• C. disk I/O
• D. memory

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as CPU/GPU usage is a crucial indicator of processing power demand for image processing tasks. While network, disk I/O, and memory metrics are important for overall system performance, they do not directly correlate to the computational load that necessitates autoscaling for image processing microservices.
