Question

You are creating a Compute cluster for the production environment. You set the maximum number of nodes to 5. What should be the value for the minimum number of nodes?

A. 5
B. 0
C. 2
D. 1
E. 3
F. 4

Answer

B. 0

Explanation

The minimum number of nodes in the production environment should be 0. With this setting, a compute cluster will be automatically stopped (deallocated) during an idle and start up when you need. It will save costs and energy.

New compute cluster O Compute name * wl-compclus Region * westus2 Virtual machine type * CPU (Central Processing Unit) Virtual machine priority Dedicated Low priority Virtual machine size* I Standard DI 1 v2 2 cores, 14 GB (RAM), 100 GB (Disk) Minimum number of nodes 21 Q) To avoid charges when no jobs are running, set the minimum nodes to O. This setting allows Azure Machine Learning to de-allocate the compute nodes when idle. Any higher value will result in charges for the number of nodes allocated. Maximum number of nodes* I 5 Idle seconds before scale down * 120 > Advanced settings

All other options are incorrect.
