Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 98

An organization is struggling to keep up with the growth of their application which is running on legacy infrastructure.

What might be holding them back?

Answer options

• A. The time it takes their serverless compute function to scale
• B. The overreliance on platform as a service
• C. The inaccessibility of their data due to perimeter security
• D. The cost of provisioning hardware for peak usage

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because legacy infrastructure often requires significant investment to scale up hardware for peak loads, which can be a financial burden. Options A, B, and C do not directly relate to the challenges of scaling legacy systems, as they focus on other aspects like compute scaling, service reliance, and security access.
