Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Google App Engine is the best choice for this scenario because it is a serverless compute option that automatically scales applications based on traffic, ensuring cost efficiency and ease of management for workloads with inconsistent traffic patterns.
- A. Correct.
Google App Engine is a fully managed serverless platform that automatically scales your application based on demand, making it cost-efficient for applications with fluctuating traffic.
- B. Incorrect.
Google Kubernetes Engine provides managed Kubernetes clusters, which offer flexibility but require more management compared to Google App Engine. It is not inherently serverless.
- C. Incorrect.
Google Compute Engine with managed instance groups can handle scaling but requires more configuration and management compared to Google App Engine.
- D. Incorrect.
Dedicated Interconnect is a networking service that provides direct physical connections between your on-premises network and Google Cloud, and is not relevant for deploying web applications.
