What is the primary role of monitoring alerts in cloud operations?

To automatically fix any issues that occur

To notify administrators of potential issues or threshold breaches

To increase the performance of cloud services

To replace the need for manual troubleshooting

An e-commerce company runs a containerized web application on a cloud platform. Traffic spikes during flash sales and drops to near zero afterward. The operations team wants to minimize cost while ensuring the application can handle sudden demand without manual intervention. Which approach best meets these requirements?

Provision a fixed cluster of virtual machines sized for peak traffic and keep them running continuously

Use a serverless function that runs the entire web application on every request

Configure horizontal auto-scaling on a managed container service with a minimum and maximum instance count

Deploy the application on a single large virtual machine and manually resize it before each sale

What is the primary purpose of availability zones in a cloud region?

To reduce the cost of cloud services

To simplify the management of virtual machines

To increase the speed of data transfer

To provide isolated locations that enhance fault tolerance

How does using disposable resources help reduce cloud costs?

By eliminating the need for monitoring

By automatically upgrading resources to higher tiers

By allowing resources to be terminated when no longer needed, avoiding ongoing charges

By storing all data in a single location
