A web application runs on Compute Engine VMs. The team expects traffic to vary significantly throughout the day. They want to automatically adjust the number of VM instances based on CPU utilization. What should they configure?

Create a load balancer and configure it to distribute traffic to multiple VMs.

Create an unmanaged instance group and manually add or remove instances.

Create an instance template, then a managed instance group with an autoscaler based on CPU utilization.

Create a single VM and enable automatic restart on failure.

What is the purpose of a Kubernetes Service in a GKE deployment?

To authenticate users to the cluster

To provide a stable network endpoint for a set of pods

To store application configuration data

To manage the lifecycle of pods

When would you choose a GPU over a TPU for a machine learning workload?

When the model is small and simple

When the workload requires high precision floating-point arithmetic

When the workload is a large transformer model

When the workload is image classification with a standard CNN
