You are running an application on multiple virtual machines within a managed instance group and have
autoscaling enabled. The autoscaling policy is configured so that additional instances are added to the group if
the CPU utilization of instances goes above 80%. VMs are added until the instance group reaches its
maximum limit of five VMs or until CPU utilization of instances lowers to 80%. The initial delay for HTTP health
checks against the instances is set to 30 seconds. The virtual machine instances take around three minutes to
become available for users. You observe that when the instance group autoscales, it adds more instances then
necessary to support the levels of end-user traffic. You want to properly maintain instance group sizes when
autoscaling. What should you do?
A. Set the maximum number of instances to 1.
B. Decrease the maximum number of instances to 3.
C. Use a TCP health check instead of an HTTP health check.
D. Increase the initial delay of the HTTP health check to 200 seconds.

data. Your users need to be able to access this archived data once a quarter for some regulatory requirements.
You want to select a cost-efficient option. Which storage option should you use?
A. Cold Storage
B. Nearline Storage
C. Regional Storage
D. Multi-Regional Storage
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Nearline, Coldline, and Archive offer ultra low-cost, highly-durable, highly available archival storage. For data
accessed less than once a year, Archive is a cost-effective storage option for long-term preservation of data.
Coldline is also ideal for cold storage—data your business expects to touch less than once a quarter. For
warmer storage, choose Nearline: data you expect to access less than once a month, but possibly multiple
times throughout the year. All storage classes are available across all GCP regions and provide unparalleled
sub-second access speeds with a consistent API.
