Correct Answer: C
c is the correct answer, use preemptible for the compute engine
ANSWER C. Select Compute Engine. Use preemptible VM instances of the appropriate standard machine type. Preemptible VM instances offer the lowest cost for batch processing jobs in the Google Cloud Platform. Preemptible VM instances are computed instances that can run for a maximum of 24 hours and provide no availability guarantees. Preemptible VM instances are up to 80% cheaper than standard compute instances, making them an excellent choice for batch-processing workloads that can be interrupted. The small instance type in a single-node cluster (ANSWER A) would not provide enough resources for batch processing jobs, and the micro instance types in a three-node cluster (ANSWER B) may not provide enough resources for the batch processing jobs to complete within the allotted time. VM instance types that support micro-bursting (ANSWER D) may not provide enough sustained CPU performance to complete batch processing jobs within the desired time frame.
