QuestionQ11

Planning and configuring a cloud solution

You need to provide a cost estimate for a Kubernetes cluster using the GCP pricing calculator for Kubernetes Engine. Your workload requires:

  • High IOPS
  • Use of disk snapshots

You begin by entering the number of nodes, average hours, and average days.

What should you do next?

  • A Fill in local SSD. Fill in persistent disk storage and snapshot storage.
  • B Fill in local SSD. Add estimated cost for cluster management.
  • C Select Add GPUs. Fill in persistent disk storage and snapshot storage.
  • D Select Add GPUs. Add estimated cost for cluster management.
Explanation

Local SSDs on Google Cloud are designed for workloads that need very high IOPS and low latency, making them the appropriate calculator field to fill in for a high-IOPS requirement. Since the workload also uses disk snapshots, the calculator additionally requires entering persistent disk storage and snapshot storage amounts to estimate the associated costs. GPUs and cluster management cost additions are unrelated to the stated IOPS and snapshot requirements, so they are not the correct next steps here.
