GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question
A Swiss fintech has adopted an internal policy that is stricter than local regulations: it requires that every byte of customer data, plus all associated processing, stay physically within Switzerland. Each quarter the firm must run a 24-hour Monte Carlo risk simulation that needs about 128 vCPUs and 4 TB of RAM. To keep costs low, the team plans to provision compute resources only during each run. Which Compute Engine deployment best satisfies the policy and technical requirements?
Start a single m2-ultramem VM with at least 128 vCPUs in region europe-west6 (Zurich) only for each simulation run.
Run the workload on a batch of a2-megagpu-16g instances in region us-central1 and shut them down when the job finishes.
Deploy a regional managed instance group of n1-highmem-32 VMs across the europe-west multi-region and delete the instances after completion.
Provision a sole-tenant node group of n2d-highcpu-128 VMs in region europe-west4 (Netherlands) with preemptible instances for lower cost.
To honor the firm's Switzerland-only processing policy, the workload must run in europe-west6, Google Cloud's Zurich region and the only region located on Swiss territory. An M2 ultramem machine type, such as m2-ultramem-208, easily exceeds the required 128 vCPUs and 4 TB of RAM, so a single on-demand VM can handle the simulation. Because the instance is started only for the quarterly job, the organization minimizes compute spend. Deployments in europe-west4 (Netherlands), us-central1 (USA), or any multi-region spread would violate the Switzerland-only mandate.
