GCP PCA · Question 34 · Domain 5: Managing Implementation and Ensuring Solution and Operations Reliability
Your development team wants to deploy a new containerized application. The application is stateless, event-driven, and experiences unpredictable traffic spikes (including scaling to zero). The team has no experience managing Kubernetes and wants the lowest possible operational overhead. Which compute service should you recommend?

Answer options:
A.
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Autopilot
B.
Compute Engine with Managed Instance Groups
C.
Cloud Run
D.
App Engine Standard
How to approach this question
Match 'containerized', 'stateless', 'scale to zero', and 'no Kubernetes knowledge' to the correct serverless service.
Full Answer
C.Cloud Run✓ Correct
Cloud Run
Cloud Run is Google Cloud's serverless container platform. It abstracts away all infrastructure management, making it perfect for teams without Kubernetes experience. It natively supports scaling to zero (saving costs when there is no traffic) and scales up rapidly to handle unpredictable spikes for stateless, event-driven applications.
Common mistakes
Choosing GKE Autopilot (A). Autopilot is great, but it is still Kubernetes and requires K8s expertise.
