    GCP ACE · Question 13 · Domain 2.2: Planning and configuring compute resources

    Your development team has created a stateless, containerized microservice that handles webhooks. Traffic is highly unpredictable; it can spike to thousands of requests per second and then drop to zero for hours. The team wants a fully managed solution that scales to zero to minimize costs, and they do not want to manage underlying infrastructure.

    Which compute service is the BEST fit for this workload?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Compute Engine Managed Instance Groups

    B.

    Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Standard

    C.

    Cloud Run

    D.

    App Engine Standard

    How to approach this question

    Look for keywords: containerized, stateless, fully managed, 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 from zero almost instantaneously.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing GKE because the app is containerized, ignoring the 'fully managed' and 'scale to zero' requirements.
