   A company has a strict security policy that requires all monitoring data to be accessed via API only, not through the UI or CLI. They need to monitor job runs and cluster status programmatically. They also want to minimize the number of API calls. Which approach should they use?

   • AUse the REST API endpoint 'GET /api/2.1/jobs/runs/list' to get all job runs, and 'GET /api/2.0/clusters/list' to get cluster status, polling at a reasonable interval.
   • BUse the Databricks CLI to run 'databricks jobs runs list' and 'databricks clusters list' in a script.
   • CUse the Spark UI's REST API to get job and cluster metrics.
   • DQuery system tables via the SQL endpoint, which is considered an API.

   A query against `system.compute.cluster_metrics` shows a cluster with consistently high CPU utilization but low memory usage. What is the most likely interpretation?

   • AThe cluster is over-provisioned for memory.
   • BThe cluster is experiencing a memory leak.
   • CThe cluster is under-provisioned for CPU-intensive workloads.
   • DThe workload is CPU-bound, and adding more memory is unlikely to improve performance.
