Worked example. The correct answer is already marked and every option is explained below, so there is nothing to select here. To answer questions yourself, start the free trial.
An organization is modernizing its web-based applications following a cloud-first design approach. The team currently operates several containerized, stateless microservices on self-managed virtual machines in Compute Engine. Maintaining these workloads involves significant operational toil, including OS security patching, manual capacity provisioning, and managing custom autoscaling scripts.
The engineering leadership wants to achieve the following:
Which compute solution should the organization adopt to meet these requirements?
Cloud Run is a fully managed, serverless compute platform that enables you to run stateless containers directly on top of Google Cloud's scalable infrastructure without needing to provision, manage, or maintain the underlying virtual machines or cluster software.
Compared to IaaS-based options or full cluster management, Cloud Run aligns directly with the cloud-first design approach by maximizing managed services adoption, completely eliminating server toil, and providing out-of-the-box scaling to zero.
