GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

A media startup stores user-uploaded photos in a Cloud Storage bucket called "photos-uploads." Whenever a new object is created, a 200×200-pixel thumbnail must be produced and saved to another bucket. The team wants to minimize infrastructure management, have the solution scale automatically with sudden traffic spikes, and pay only while their code is executing. Which Google Cloud compute service best meets these requirements?

  • Create a managed instance group of Compute Engine VMs that continuously poll the bucket and generate thumbnails when new files appear.

  • Launch a GKE Autopilot cluster and deploy a containerized thumbnail service scaled by a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler subscribed to bucket notifications via Pub/Sub.

  • Deploy a Cloud Function that is triggered by the Cloud Storage object finalize event to create the thumbnail.

  • Containerize the thumbnailing code and run it on Cloud Run in an always-on service behind an external HTTP load balancer.
