What is the type of instance commonly used for batch processing in Google Cloud?

  1. Preemptible instances

  2. Standard instances

  3. Managed instances

  4. Reserved instances

The correct answer is: Preemptible instances

Preemptible instances are the correct answer because they are instances that only run for a short period of time, making them ideal for batch processing. Standard instances could be used for batch processing, but are typically used for longer-running applications and workloads. Managed instances are intended for automatic scaling, not batch processing. Reserved instances would be better suited for long-standing workloads, rather than batch processing that is typically done within a set time frame.
