You are designing a stateless, containerized web application that experiences unpredictable traffic spikes. You want a fully managed serverless environment that scales to zero when there is no traffic. Which compute service should you choose?
Answer options:
A.
Compute Engine
B.
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
C.
Cloud Run
D.
App Engine Standard
How to approach this question
Identify the service that supports containers AND is serverless (scales to zero).
Full Answer
C.Cloud Run✓ Correct
Cloud Run is a managed compute platform that enables you to run containers that are invocable via requests or events. It abstracts away all infrastructure management and automatically scales up and down to zero almost instantaneously.
Common mistakes
Choosing GKE because containers are mentioned, ignoring the 'serverless' and 'scale to zero' requirements.
