Actual exam question for Microsoft's DP-750 exam
Question #: 7
Topic #: 1
You have an Azure Databricks workspace that contains an all-purpose cluster named Cluster1.
You need to configure Cluster1 to meet the following requirements:
- The cluster must scale up automatically when workloads increase.
- The cluster must scale down automatically when workloads decrease.
The solution must minimize costs.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer: B,E Vote an answer

Enabling autoscaling and setting a 30-minute auto-termination timeout is the correct configuration to meet the goals.
Autoscaling handles fluctuating workloads, while auto-termination prevents you from paying for idle compute resources.
Dynamic Scaling: Autoscaling automatically adds workers during high loads and removes them when demand drops.
Cost Control: The 30-minute termination window ensures the cluster shuts down completely if no jobs are running, stopping all compute charges.
