Answer: C

Explanation:

Preemptible VMs:

Predictable and low cost

Preemptible VMs are up to 80% cheaper than regular instances. Pricing is fixed so you will always get low cost and financial predictability, without worrying about variable market pricing.

Expand your batch processing

Supplement your regular VMs with lower-cost, preemptible instances to finish your compute-intensive work faster, saving you time and money. Throw preemptible VMs at fault-tolerant workloads such as high performance computing, big data and analytics, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), rendering/transcoding, and testing.

Get more from your containers

Containers are naturally stateless and fault tolerant, making them a great fit for preemptible VMs! You save on your containerized workloads today with these affordable compute instances. Take advantage of Google Kubernetes Engine for your containerized workloads

and Managed Instance Groups to painlessly and seamlessly recover from preemptions.

Enable it instantly

Simply add –preemptible to the gcloud command line and you’re off to the races. There’s no bidding to code for, and with per-second billing, just shut down your VMs as soon as you’re done.
