Question #6 (Topic: Exam A)
Let's assume that an organization needs to process large amounts of data in bursts, on a cloud-based Kubernetes cluster.

A. Run a group of nodes with the exact required size to complete the batch on time, and use a combination of taints, tolerations, and nodeSelectors to reserve these nodes to the batch jobs.
B. Leverage the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler to automatically start and stop nodes as they're needed.
C. Commit to a specific level of spending to get discounted prices (with e.g. “reserved instances” or similar mechanisms).
