What is "Compute" in Foundry and what options are typical?

• A. Compute refers to the data storage architecture.
• B. Compute refers to the processing resources used by assets; options include CPU, memory, and distributed compute like Spark.
• C. Compute refers to a user interface theme.
• D. Compute refers to a security feature.

Answer: (B)

In Foundry, Compute denotes the processing resources that assets use to run—the horsepower behind your data work. This includes CPU capacity, memory, and the ability to run distributed processing like Spark across a cluster. It’s about how much work can be done and how fast, not where data is stored, how the UI looks, or what security features exist. So the best answer reflects that compute covers the processing resources (CPU, memory) and distributed compute like Spark. The other options don’t fit because they describe storage architecture, a user interface theme, or a security feature, none of which capture the resource basis for executing data processing.
