Question 360
During a security and capacity review at a financial analytics firm, engineers report the following issue: An executive compares cloud GPU hourly rates with only hardware purchase price. The affected work supports risk scoring and historical-data models; traceable controls and predictable throughput are required. Select TWO: the most appropriate action and the strongest verification of that action. (Select TWO.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
Correct corrective action. Compare public-cloud GPU elasticity, service availability, transfer cost and operating expense with owned cluster utilization and lifecycle cost before choosing placement. This fits the specific reported issue: An executive compares cloud GPU hourly rates with only hardware purchase price. The corresponding failure being reduced is: A choice based only on hourly GPU price or capital expense can miss capacity delays, data transfer and sustained operating costs.
Correct independent evidence. An end-to-end cost and capacity study covers representative utilization, deployment lead time, data movement and required service levels. This verifies the corrective approach for the affected risk scoring and historical-data models instead of treating an architecture diagram alone as success.
Incorrect Answers
Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Plan multiple accelerator nodes with a suitable high-bandwidth low-latency network and distributed training communications, then measure scaling efficiency. This choice concerns scale-out cluster design and distributed communication and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'An executive compares cloud GPU hourly rates with only hardware purchase price', which calls for reasoning about cloud elasticity versus on-prem capacity tradeoffs. The targeted response is: Compare public-cloud GPU elasticity, service availability, transfer cost and operating expense with owned cluster utilization and lifecycle cost before choosing placement.
Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Sustained stress testing shows inlet temperatures and accelerator thermals remain within the approved equipment operating envelope. This choice concerns cooling design for dense accelerated racks and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'An executive compares cloud GPU hourly rates with only hardware purchase price', which calls for reasoning about cloud elasticity versus on-prem capacity tradeoffs. The targeted response is: Compare public-cloud GPU elasticity, service availability, transfer cost and operating expense with owned cluster utilization and lifecycle cost before choosing placement.
Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Consider data residency, security requirements, network egress and operational control when deciding between private infrastructure, cloud and a hybrid AI environment. This choice concerns data locality and control in ai deployment placement and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'An executive compares cloud GPU hourly rates with only hardware purchase price', which calls for reasoning about cloud elasticity versus on-prem capacity tradeoffs. The targeted response is: Compare public-cloud GPU elasticity, service availability, transfer cost and operating expense with owned cluster utilization and lifecycle cost before choosing placement.
