Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect PCA — Topic 1 Question 243

Question

You need to build and deploy a containerized web application to Google Cloud. The application is very write-heavy and requires a relational database as its data store. The application needs to be highly available in multiple cloud regions. You want to minimize operational overhead while following Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Deploy the application to Cloud Run in multiple regions behind a global HTTPS load balancer. Use Spanner as the database. Cloud Run runs stateless containers serverlessly and scales to zero, minimizing operational overhead. Cloud Spanner is a horizontally scalable, strongly consistent relational database with global reach. A load balancer distributes traffic across healthy backends in multiple zones for availability and scale.
