Google Exam Associate-Cloud-Engineer Topic 2 Question 88 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Google Associate Cloud Engineer exam
Question #: 88
Topic #: 2
[All Google Associate Cloud Engineer Questions]

Your team has developed a stateless application which requires it to be run directly on virtual machines. The application is expected to receive a fluctuating amount of traffic and needs to scale automatically. You need to deploy the application. What should you do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A managed instance group (MIG) is a group of identical virtual machines (VMs) that you can manage as a single entity. You can use a MIG to deploy and maintain a stateless application that runs directly on VMs. A MIG can automatically scale the number of VMs based on the load or a schedule. A MIG can also automatically heal the VMs if they become unhealthy or unavailable. A MIG is suitable for applications that need to run on VMs rather than containers or serverless platforms.

B is incorrect because Kubernetes Engine is a managed service for running containerized applications on a cluster of nodes. It is not necessary to use Kubernetes Engine if the application does not use containers and can run directly on VMs.

C is incorrect because Cloud Functions is a serverless platform for running event-driven code in response to triggers. It is not suitable for applications that need to run continuously and handle HTTP requests.

D is incorrect because Cloud Run is a serverless platform for running stateless containerized applications. It is not suitable for applications that do not use containers and can run directly on VMs.

Haha, imagine trying to run this on a Raspberry Pi. That'd be a sight to see. Anyway, instance group or Cloud Run are my top picks.

Whoa, hold up! Are we sure the app can't be containerized? If so, Kubernetes might be the way to go. But the instance group is a solid choice too.

Autoscaling is key here, so either the instance group or Cloud Run seem like the best options. I'd probably lean towards Cloud Run for the ease of use.

Cloud Functions? Nah, that's for serverless functions, not a full-fledged app. Gotta go with the instance group or Cloud Run.

Kubernetes might be overkill for a simple stateless app. I'd stick with the managed instance group option.

I'd go with option D and deploy on Cloud Run. Autoscaling is built-in, and it's a great fit for stateless apps.

A managed instance group with autoscaling sounds like the way to go for a stateless app with fluctuating traffic. Seems like the most straightforward solution.
