A retail company plans to rehost its inventory management application on Google Cloud. They need full control over the guest operating system, want to size machines precisely, and prefer to move from capital expenditure to pay-as-you-go operational costs. Which Compute Engine benefit provides the strongest business value for this scenario?
Guaranteed zero-downtime maintenance via simultaneous live migration of all VM instances.
Complete outsourcing of guest operating system patching and configuration to Google, requiring no customer involvement.
Automatic refactoring of monolithic applications into microservices without any code changes.
Pay-as-you-go per-second billing and automatic sustained use discounts that lower ongoing costs compared with owning hardware.
Compute Engine virtual machines are billed per second and automatically receive sustained use discounts, allowing organizations to pay only for the resources they consume and reduce total cost of ownership compared with purchasing and maintaining on-premises hardware. Compute Engine does not automatically refactor applications, does not guarantee zero downtime for every maintenance event, and customers remain responsible for guest OS patching-so those statements are incorrect.
