Answer options:
A.
Compute Engine
B.
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
C.
Cloud Run
D.
App Engine Standard
How to approach this question
Look for the service that takes raw source code (no containers) and provides serverless scaling.
Full Answer
D.App Engine Standard✓ Correct
App Engine Standard is ideal for developers who want to focus purely on code. Unlike Cloud Run, it does not require building Docker containers. It supports Node.js natively, scales to zero, and requires zero infrastructure management.
Common mistakes
Choosing Cloud Run (C), missing the constraint that the team does not want to build Docker containers.
