    GCP ACE · Question 19 · Domain 3.1: Deploying and implementing Compute Engine resources

    You need to deploy a fleet of identical web servers on Compute Engine that will automatically scale up when CPU utilization exceeds 70%.

    What is the correct sequence of resources you must create to achieve this?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Create a Managed Instance Group (MIG) -> Create an Instance Template -> Configure Autoscaling.

    B.

    Create a Custom Image -> Create an Instance Template -> Create a Managed Instance Group (MIG) with autoscaling.

    C.

    Create an Unmanaged Instance Group -> Add VMs manually -> Enable Autoscaling.

    D.

    Create an Instance Template -> Create a Target Pool -> Enable Autoscaling.

    How to approach this question

    Understand the dependency chain for autoscaling in Compute Engine.

    Full Answer

    B.Create a Custom Image -> Create an Instance Template -> Create a Managed Instance Group (MIG) with autoscaling.✓ Correct
    To use autoscaling, you must use a Managed Instance Group (MIG). A MIG requires an Instance Template to know what kind of VMs to create. The Instance Template typically references a Custom Image that contains your application code. Therefore, the order is Image -> Template -> MIG (with autoscaling).

    Common mistakes

    Confusing Managed and Unmanaged Instance Groups. Only Managed Instance Groups support autoscaling and auto-healing.
