A cloud administrator notices that a virtual machine has been running at 5% CPU utilization for the past month. Which resource optimization action is most appropriate?

Migrate the VM to a different region

Decrease the VM size or stop it if not needed

Increase the VM size to improve performance

A company runs a development environment that is only used during business hours (9 AM to 5 PM). Which resource optimization strategy can reduce costs?

Keep the environment running 24/7 to avoid downtime

Increase the size of the VMs to improve performance

Move the environment to a different cloud provider

Schedule the environment to start and stop automatically based on business hours

A web application has a predictable baseline load of 4 vCPUs and 8 GB of memory, but experiences occasional spikes that require up to 8 vCPUs and 16 GB. The application must always be available. Which resource allocation strategy best meets these requirements?

Provision a single instance with 8 vCPUs and 16 GB to handle the maximum load at all times

Provision a single instance with 4 vCPUs and 8 GB and rely on the cloud provider to handle spikes

Provision two instances with 4 vCPUs and 8 GB each and use a load balancer

Use an auto-scaling group that starts with 4 vCPUs/8 GB and scales up to 8 vCPUs/16 GB during spikes

A startup is launching a new application and expects unpredictable traffic patterns. Which scalability planning approach is most suitable?

Deploy the application on a physical server on-premises

Use a single large VM to handle all traffic

Provision a fixed number of VMs based on peak estimates

Use auto-scaling to adjust capacity based on demand
