2 GB

8 GB

32 GB

7. How can you trigger a Cloud Run service from Cloud Pub/Sub?

Direct connection without additional setup

Use Cloud Tasks with Pub/Sub

Use Cloud Functions or Eventarc to invoke Cloud Run

Pub/Sub cannot trigger Cloud Run

8. What happens to a Cloud Run service when it receives no traffic?

Service is automatically deleted

Scales down to zero instances (no cost)

Continues running at full capacity

Requires manual restart

9. Cloud Run supports traffic splitting. What is a primary use case?

Load balancing across regions

Gradual rollout of new service versions

Reducing storage costs

Increasing database performance

10. Which registry can you deploy container images from to Cloud Run?

Artifact Registry and Container Registry

Docker Hub only

GitHub Packages only

Local registry only

11. What is the primary purpose of Google Cloud Run?

Manage Kubernetes clusters

Run stateless containers on a fully managed serverless platform

Store and manage relational databases

Use environment variables or Secret Manager

Store in public Cloud Storage

Pass via command-line arguments only

13. What is a key advantage of Cloud Run's pricing model?

Fixed monthly cost regardless of usage

Pay only for actual compute time used

Free tier with no usage limits

Requires annual subscription

14. Which gcloud command deploys a container image to Cloud Run?

Gcloud run push

Gcloud run deploy

Gcloud deploy service

Gcloud container deploy

15. How does Cloud Run handle application state and persistence?

Automatically persists data in local storage

Services are stateless; data must be persisted externally

Uses built-in in-memory caching

Maintains state across service instances

16. What is the maximum request timeout for a Cloud Run service?

30 seconds

5 minutes

API key only

No authentication needed

18. Cloud Run services are automatically scalable. What triggers scaling?

Manual configuration only

Incoming request traffic

CPU usage thresholds

Memory allocation changes

19. What port must a Cloud Run service listen on by default?
