Managing compute resources

Objective 3.1 sits in Ensuring the successful operation of a cloud solution, which carries 30% of the Associate Cloud Engineer exam. The questions below are original, written from the official objective title above, and each explanation cites the Google Cloud page it rests on.

3-1Ensuring the successful operation of a cloud solution

An engineer wants to autoscale an unmanaged instance group and cannot find the setting. Which groups does Compute Engine autoscale?

Both group kinds equallyOne kind is excluded from the feature.
Only managed instance groupsCorrect · your answerCorrect. A template is what makes it possible.
Only unmanaged instance groupsHand-built members give the autoscaler no recipe.
Only regional instance groupsZonal groups are autoscaled just as well.

Correct.

Concept

Adding a machine automatically requires a recipe for what that machine should be. A group whose members were each built by hand offers the platform nothing to copy.

Why B

Autoscaling is a feature of managed instance groups, which are built from a common instance template. Unmanaged groups cannot be used with an autoscaler.

Sample question 1 of 3

3-1Ensuring the successful operation of a cloud solution

A team configures both a CPU signal and a load balancing signal in one autoscaling policy. How does the autoscaler choose a group size?

Sample question 2 of 3

3-1Ensuring the successful operation of a cloud solution

An engineer turns on autoscaling for a MIG without picking a signal. Which signal does the autoscaler add by default?
