Google Exam Associate Cloud Engineer Topic 4 Question 86 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Associate Cloud Engineer exam
Question #: 86
Topic #: 4
[All 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.

I'm gonna have to go with option A. Managed instance groups are like a trusty sidekick – they'll always have your back when it comes to scaling.

I'm not sure, I think deploying on Cloud Functions with maximum number of instances could also work.

Is it just me, or does option C sound like the perfect way to scale my application... if I want to pay my cloud provider's electricity bill for the next decade.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. Both Kubernetes Engine and Cloud Run seem like viable options, but I'll have to do some more research to decide.

Option D looks good to me. Cloud Run is designed for this kind of use case, and the autoscaling feature is a perfect fit.
