GCP ACE · Question 12 · Domain 2.2: Planning and configuring compute resources
Your development team has created a stateless, containerized web application. They want to deploy it to Google Cloud with the least amount of operational overhead. The application should automatically scale from zero to handle incoming HTTP requests and scale back to zero when there is no traffic to save costs.

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
Match the requirements: 'containerized', 'least operational overhead' (serverless), and 'scale to zero'.
Full Answer
C.Cloud Run✓ Correct
Cloud Run is Google Cloud's fully managed compute platform for deploying and scaling containerized applications quickly and securely. It abstracts away all infrastructure management (least operational overhead) and automatically scales up and down, including scaling to zero, based on incoming request traffic.
Common mistakes
Choosing GKE because the app is containerized. GKE is powerful but has high operational overhead and doesn't natively scale the entire cluster to zero to save all costs.
