Your company runs one batch process in an on-premises server that takes around 30 hours to complete. The task runs monthly, can be performed offline, and must be restarted if interrupted. You want to migrate this workload to the cloud while minimizing cost. What should you do?

AMigrate the workload to a Compute Engine Preemptible VM.

BMigrate the workload to a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster with Preemptible nodes.

CMigrate the workload to a Compute Engine VM. Start and stop the instance as needed.

DCreate an Instance Template with Preemptible VMs On. Create a Managed Instance Group from the template and adjust Target CPU Utilization. Migrate the workload.

Suggested Answer: D

HTTP(S) load balancing is a Google-recommended practice for distributing web traffic across multiple regions and zones, and providing high availability, scalability, and security for web applications. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and can handle SSL/TLS termination and encryption. It also integrates with Cloud CDN, Cloud Armor, and Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for enhanced performance and protection. A MIG can be used as a backend service for HTTP(S) load balancing, and can automatically scale and heal the VM instances that host the web application.

To configure DNS for HTTP(S) load balancing, you need to create an A record in your DNS public zone with the load balancer's IP address. This will map your domain name to the load balancer's IP address, and allow users to access your web application using the domain name. A CNAME record is not recommended, as it can cause latency and DNS resolution issues. A private zone is not suitable, as it is only visible within your VPC network, and not to the public internet.

Hmm, Option A with the Preemptible VM seems like the easiest solution. As long as I don't mind the occasional disruption, it could be a good fit.

I'm leaning towards Option C. It's a straightforward approach, and I can just start and stop the instance as needed to save on costs.

I agree with Option D. Managing the workload with a Managed Instance Group and adjusting Target CPU Utilization seems like a smart move.
