An online retailer plans to launch a short-lived promotional web application and wants to avoid provisioning or managing any servers. According to Google Cloud's serverless model, which primary business benefit does this approach provide?
Gain root access to the underlying operating system to customize kernels and install system packages.
Lower costs through multi-year committed use discounts for reserved virtual machines.
Pay only for the resources consumed during request execution instead of for pre-allocated capacity.
Receive dedicated physical hosts that satisfy strict compliance requirements.
Serverless platforms such as Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and App Engine automatically provision resources only when requests arrive and scale down to zero when idle. Because the customer is billed solely for the compute time and memory actually consumed during request processing, they avoid paying for pre-provisioned or idle capacity. The other options describe characteristics of traditional virtual machine environments: dedicated hardware, kernel customization, or savings tied to long-term VM reservations. These do not represent core benefits of serverless computing.
