Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the Compute Engine feature that allows VMs to be added to or subtracted from an application based on load metrics?
A
Network time protocol (NTP)
B
Autoscaling
C
Persistent disks
D
Load balancing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Autoscaling. Compute Engine offers autoscaling to automatically add or remove VM instances from a managed instance group (MIG) based on increases or decreases in load. Autoscaling lets your apps gracefully handle increases in traffic, and it reduces cost when the need for resources is lower.

Detailed explanation-2: -Google Compute Engine (GCE) is an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offering that allows clients to run workloads on Google’s physical hardware. Google Compute Engine provides a scalable number of virtual machines (VMs) to serve as large compute clusters for that purpose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Compute Engine: Compute Engine offers scalable and flexible virtual machine computing capabilities in the cloud, with options to utilize certain CPUs, GPUs, or Cloud TPUs. You can use Compute Engine to solve large-scale processing and analytic problems on Google’s computing, storage, and networking infrastructure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Compute Engine provides machine type recommendations to help you optimize the resource utilization of your virtual machine (VM) instances. These recommendations are generated automatically based on system metrics gathered by the Cloud Monitoring service over the previous 8 days.
