Worked example. The correct answer is already marked and every option is explained below, so there is nothing to select here. To answer questions yourself, start the free trial.
An enterprise runs a mission-critical nightly batch pipeline that processes analytical data and writes updates into a Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL database, followed by downstream machine learning model retraining using specialized GPU-accelerated compute instances.
During recent runs, the pipeline suffered delays and failures caused by:
You need to proactively guarantee deterministic resource availability for the GPU batch workloads and optimize database capacity and resource contention.
Which strategy should you implement?
This solution combines Compute Engine zonal reservations, proactive quota utilization monitoring in Cloud Monitoring, and Managed Connection Pooling in Cloud SQL to ensure deterministic resource capacity and mitigate database contention.
