GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your media company schedules nightly video-transcoding jobs that take about two hours and can be restarted if interrupted. Each worker requires roughly 8 vCPUs and 30 GB of RAM. You want to minimize compute cost while avoiding over-provisioning resources. Which Compute Engine configuration best meets these requirements?

  • Deploy a Spot VM that uses a custom machine type with 8 vCPUs and 30 GB RAM.

  • Run the job on regular (on-demand) e2-standard-8 instances backed by a 100 GB balanced persistent disk.

  • Deploy a Spot n2-standard-8 VM and attach a 375 GB Local SSD for temporary scratch space.

  • Use memory-optimized m2-ultramem-32 on-demand instances to guarantee the workload is never interrupted.
