A startup is launching a new mobile app. They expect user growth to be gradual, but they want to be able to handle sudden spikes in usage if the app goes viral. The startup has a small team and limited budget. They want to avoid managing servers. Which solution should the architect recommend?

Use Azure Kubernetes Service with a small cluster.

Use Azure App Service with the Consumption plan.

Deploy the app on Azure Virtual Machines with auto-scaling.

Use Azure Functions with a Consumption plan.

A company runs a web application that experiences predictable daily traffic patterns: high during business hours and low at night. The application is stateless and can be scaled horizontally. The company wants to minimize cost while ensuring performance during peak hours. They are considering two options: (1) a fixed cluster of VMs sized for peak, or (2) an auto-scaling cluster that scales in and out. Which factor should be the primary consideration in choosing between these options?

The cost of the VMs during off-peak hours.

The predictability of the traffic pattern.

The total cost of ownership, including the cost of idle capacity and scaling overhead.

The time it takes to scale out the auto-scaling cluster.

A financial services company is migrating a customer-facing loan application to the cloud. The application has predictable usage during business hours but experiences a 10x spike during the first week of each month when statements are generated. The company wants to minimize cost while ensuring the application remains responsive during the spike. What should the solution architect recommend?

Use a serverless function that scales automatically, but set the maximum concurrency to a low value to control cost.

Implement an auto-scaling group that scales out during the monthly spike and scales in during off-peak hours.

Provision a single large VM with a reserved instance discount, and rely on over-provisioning to handle the spike.

Deploy the application on a fixed number of large VMs sized for peak load and run them 24/7.
