Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 69

You need to provide a cost estimate for a Kubernetes cluster using the GCP pricing calculator for Kubernetes. Your workload requires high IOPs, and you will also be using disk snapshots. You start by entering the number of nodes, average hours, and average days. What should you do next?

Answer options

• A. Fill in local SSD. Fill in persistent disk storage and snapshot storage.
• B. Fill in local SSD. Add estimated cost for cluster management.
• C. Select Add GPUs. Fill in persistent disk storage and snapshot storage.
• D. Select Add GPUs. Add estimated cost for cluster management.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because after establishing the basic parameters, you need to specify the types of storage required for high IOPs, which includes local SSD, persistent disk storage, and snapshot storage. The other options, while they include relevant components, do not focus on the necessary storage configurations for the workload's performance requirements.
