You are migrating a production-critical on-premises application that requires 96 vCPUs to perform its task.
You want to make sure the application runs in a similar environment on GCP.

A. B. C. D.B.
To migrate a production-critical on-premises application that requires 96 vCPUs to perform its task to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you need to create a virtual machine (VM) on GCP that provides a similar environment to the on-premises application.
The correct answer is A. When creating the VM, use machine type n1-standard-96. This machine type provides 96 vCPUs, which is the exact amount required by the on-premises application.
Option B is incorrect because the Intel Skylake CPU platform provides improved performance for certain workloads but does not offer a specific number of vCPUs required by the application.
Option C is also incorrect because Compute Engine default settings provide a VM with only a few vCPUs and would require additional configuration steps to meet the application's requirements.
Option D is incorrect because it suggests starting the VM using Compute Engine default settings and adjusting as you go based on Rightsizing Recommendations. This approach may result in suboptimal performance, additional costs, and potential downtime for the application.
In summary, to migrate a production-critical on-premises application that requires 96 vCPUs to perform its task to GCP, you should create a VM using machine type n1-standard-96.
