How to approach this question
Identify the two GCP compute services that are strictly serverless and scale to zero.
Full Answer
Cloud Run and Cloud Functions are Google Cloud's premier serverless compute offerings. Both abstract away all infrastructure management, automatically scale based on traffic, scale down to zero when not in use, and bill only for the exact compute time consumed.
Common mistakes
Selecting App Engine Flexible (E), which is often confused with App Engine Standard (which does scale to zero).
