Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 269

An organization is using Compute Engine and wants to receive sustained-use discounts. What should the organization do?

Answer options

• A. Choose preemptible or spot instances when creating virtual machines.
• B. Choose low-powered virtual machines.
• C. Nothing. Sustained use discounts are automatically applied.
• D. Commit to virtual machine usage for a one or three-year period.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because sustained-use discounts are automatically applied based on the usage of Compute Engine resources without any additional actions required from the user. Option A is incorrect as preemptible instances do not contribute to sustained-use discounts, option B doesn't guarantee discounts based on usage, and option D refers to committed use discounts, not sustained-use discounts.
