A developer wants to reduce the environmental impact of a web application that runs on Google Cloud. The application has variable traffic. Which approach is most effective?

Use a single VM for all traffic to simplify management.

Move the application to a region with the lowest latency.

Use autoscaling to match resource usage to demand.

Provision a fixed number of large VMs to handle peak load.

A company runs a batch processing job that is not time-sensitive. They want to reduce the carbon footprint of this workload. What is the most effective approach?

Keep the job in the current region to avoid data transfer costs.

Use a larger machine type to finish the job faster, regardless of energy source.

Run the job in a region that uses a higher percentage of carbon-free energy, even if it adds latency.

Run the job on a preemptible VM to save costs, without considering region.

A company wants to reduce its carbon footprint on Google Cloud. They have a mix of workloads, including some that are time-sensitive and some that are flexible. What is the most effective overall strategy?

Move all workloads to a single region with low carbon intensity.

Use Carbon Footprint to identify high-emission workloads and optimize them.

Run all workloads during off-peak hours.

Use only preemptible VMs for all workloads.

A startup wants to minimize the environmental impact of its new cloud deployment. They have a web app that can run in any region. What is the most effective way to reduce their carbon footprint?

Choose a region with a low carbon intensity for the energy grid.

Use multiple regions for redundancy, regardless of carbon intensity.

Use the region closest to their users to minimize latency.

Select a region with the lowest cost per compute hour.
