Google Exam Professional Cloud Architect Topic 3 Question 95 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Professional Cloud Architect exam
Question #: 95
Topic #: 3
[All Professional Cloud Architect Questions]

You are migrating third-party applications from optimized on-premises virtual machines to Google Cloud. You are unsure about the optimum CPU and memory options. The application have a consistent usage patterns across multiple weeks. You want to optimize resource usage for the lowest cost. What should you do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Create a Compute engine instance with CPU and Memory options similar to your application's current on-premises virtual machine. Install the cloud monitoring agent, and deploy the third party application. Run a load with normal traffic levels on third party application and follow the Rightsizing Recommendations in the Cloud Console

I'm leaning towards A. Gotta love those Rightsizing Recommendations - it's like having a personal shopper for your cloud resources!

D could work, but running a high-traffic load test? That's like asking a hungry lion to taste-test your new recipe - not the safest option!

D) Create multiple Compute Engine instances with varying CPU and memory options. Install the cloud monitoring agent and deploy the third-party application on each of them. Run a load test with high traffic levels on the application and use the results to determine the optimal settings.

C) Create an instance template with the smallest available machine type, and use an image of the third party application taken from the current on-premises virtual machine. Create a managed instance group that uses average CPU to autoscale the number of instances in the group. Modify the average CPU utilization threshold to optimize the number of instances running.

C is an intriguing idea, but I'm not convinced autoscaling is the best approach here. What if the traffic patterns change unexpectedly?

C) Autoscaling can be risky, I agree. It's better to have more control over the resources based on the specific needs of the application.

B) Create an App Engine flexible environment, and deploy the third party application using a Docker file and a custom runtime. Set CPU and memory options similar to your application's current on-premises virtual machine in the app.yaml file.

I disagree, I believe option D is more practical. Testing with different CPU and memory options will give us a better understanding of the optimal settings.

B looks interesting, but I'm not sure about the custom runtime. Might be more work than I want to take on for this project.
