Ah, the classic 'high availability' question. Gotta love it. I think option B is the safest bet, but if I'm feeling adventurous, maybe I'll go with C and see what happens.

I think option C could be interesting to try out, but it might be riskier.

Haha, 'Bigtable clusters' - sounds like a supersized version of our regular database! I'm leaning towards option D, just to keep things interesting.

Let's go with option D then, it seems like the best fit for our expansion to APAC.

Yeah, maintaining a target of 35% CPU utilization with those cluster locations makes sense.

Wait, we need to maintain a target of 23% CPU utilization? That's a pretty low bar. I'd go with option C and spread the clusters across multiple regions to improve availability.

I'm not sure, option C also looks promising with the 35% CPU utilization target.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'm thinking option B might be the way to go, keeping the clusters in the same US region for now and then adding a third cluster in APAC later.
