A retailer wants to containerize a stateless web service and deploy it on Google Cloud with no cluster management, built-in HTTPS endpoints, and the ability to scale automatically down to zero when idle. Which service should they use?
Cloud Run
Compute Engine managed instance group with autoscaling
Cloud Run is a fully managed container platform. You hand Google Cloud a container image, and Cloud Run provides an HTTPS URL, handles all infrastructure tasks, and automatically scales each revision from zero to as many instances as needed. Google Kubernetes Engine and managed instance groups require infrastructure or cluster administration and do not scale individual containers to zero. App Engine flexible environment supports containers but keeps at least one instance running, so it cannot scale to zero.
