You are in the final stage of migrating an on-premises data center to Google Cloud. You are quickly approaching your deadline, and discover that a web API is running on a server slated for decommissioning. You need to recommend a solution to modernize this API while migrating to Google Cloud. The modernized web API must meet the following requirements:

• Autoscales during high traffic periods at the end of each month
• Written in Python 3.x
• Developers must be able to rapidly deploy new versions in response to frequent code changes

You want to minimize cost, effort, and operational overhead of this migration. What should you do?

  • A. Modernize and deploy the code on App Engine flexible environment.
  • B. Modernize and deploy the code on App Engine standard environment.
  • C. Deploy the modernized application to an n1-standard-1 Compute Engine instance.
  • D. Ask the development team to re-write the application to run as a Docker container on Google Kubernetes Engine.

Selected Answer: A
App Engine flexible environment is a fully managed platform for running Python 3.x applications. It autoscales during high traffic periods and can be rapidly deployed using the App Engine SDK or the App Engine gcloud command-line tool. Additionally, App Engine flexible environment is a cost-effective solution, as you only pay for the resources that you use.

Keep in mind that we're also asked to minimize the cost here. The GAE Standard is better as it supports Python 3.x already and it's a cheaper solution. GAE Flexible doesn't scale down to 0 and it will always have at least 1 instance running.

Selected Answer: B
A,C and D can be eliminated A. App engine flexible cannot scale down to 0, thus not minimizes the cost C. Deploying to a single VM will not allow autoscaling D. Running in a GKE cluster will not minimize the cost That leaves B as the only valid option.
