A development team wants to deploy a suite of event-driven microservices. They require a fully managed, serverless environment where they only pay for the exact compute time used (scaling to zero). Which TWO GCP compute services meet these requirements? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

Compute Engine

Cloud Run

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Standard

Cloud Functions

App Engine Flexible

How to approach this question

Identify the two GCP compute services that are strictly serverless and scale to zero.

Full Answer

Cloud Run, Cloud Functions

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).
