Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer — Question 92

Your organization wants to increase the availability target of an application from 99.9% to 99.99% for an investment of $2,000. The application's current revenue is $1,000,000. You need to determine whether the increase in availability is worth the investment for a single year of usage. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Calculate the value of improved availability to be $900, and determine that the increase in availability is not worth the investment.
• B. Calculate the value of improved availability to be $1,000, and determine that the increase in availability is not worth the investment.
• C. Calculate the value of improved availability to be $1,000, and determine that the increase in availability is worth the investment.
• D. Calculate the value of improved availability to be $9,000, and determine that the increase in availability is worth the investment.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct choice is A, as the calculated value of increased availability is $900, which is less than the $2,000 investment, indicating that the enhancement is not justified. Options B and C both incorrectly assess the value as $1,000, and option D overestimates the value at $9,000, which would suggest that the investment is worthwhile when it is not.
