Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 281

You are planning to deploy an application to Google Cloud. Your application processes asynchronous events from Google services and must be accessible from the public Internet. You need to identify how to deploy your application. You want to follow a standardized process while minimizing development costs. You also want to have no costs when your workloads are not in use. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Deploy your code to GKE. Use Pub/Sub for event delivery.
• B. Deploy your code to Compute Engine. Use Pub/Sub for event delivery.
• C. Deploy your code to GKE. Use Eventarc for event delivery.
• D. Deploy your code to Cloud Run. Use Eventarc for event delivery.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because deploying to Cloud Run allows for a serverless environment where you only pay for active usage, aligning with the requirement of having no costs when workloads are not in use. GKE (options A and C) and Compute Engine (option B) incur costs even when idle, making them less suitable for minimizing expenses.
