A simulation has checkpointed retryable tasks, but a fixed deadline needs a reliable completion baseline. Which two decisions fit? Select 2 answers.

Select all that apply. Every correct option and no extras are required for credit in the app.

A.Persist checkpoints and results in durable shared storage
B.Use dedicated nodes for baseline completion capacity and Spot nodes for additional retryable throughput
C.Use only Spot nodes and treat eviction as impossible after a reservation discount
D.Skip Batch and VM quotas because pool autoscale bypasses allocation limits
E.Keep checkpoints only on a node's temporary disk

✓ Correct answers

Persist checkpoints and results in durable shared storage
Use dedicated nodes for baseline completion capacity and Spot nodes for additional retryable throughput

A mixed pool combines reliable dedicated capacity with cheaper interruption-tolerant throughput, and external checkpoints support recovery. Spot can still be evicted, temporary-only checkpoints can disappear, and account or VM quotas can constrain pool growth. Source guide: PDF page(s) 48.
