A data engineer created an all-purpose cluster for interactive notebook work on Friday, used it all day, and then forgot to terminate it before leaving. On Monday, the cloud bill shows the cluster ran — and billed — for the entire weekend, because an administrator had changed the cluster's termination settings at creation. Which default behavior would have stopped the cluster if those settings had been left unchanged?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →
  1. A. Interactive clusters never terminate on their own by default; termination must be configured and triggered manually
  2. B. The same default inactivity timeout applies to job clusters, which otherwise stay running between their job runs
  3. C. All-purpose clusters are created with auto-termination enabled by default, after 120 minutes of inactivity
  4. D. Auto-termination only affects clusters that use spot instances; on-demand clusters keep running until stopped
