GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your team runs an online transaction-processing (OLTP) workload on Compute Engine VMs. The database requires very low latency and up to 300 000 IOPS during seasonal peaks. The data footprint is only 1 TB, and you want to minimize block-storage cost while still meeting the performance target. What should you do?

  • Run the workload on Spot VMs with Local SSD to obtain higher transient IOPS at lower cost.

  • Use a Regional Persistent Disk to double the read IOPS without increasing capacity.

  • Stripe four 256 GB Zonal SSD Persistent Disks in a RAID-0 array on the VM.

  • Attach a 1 TB Hyperdisk Extreme volume and provision 300 000 IOPS in its performance settings.
