Wait, isn't GKE more complex to manage than Cloud Run?

I’m a bit confused about the differences between the options, especially between Cloud Run and GKE. I need to review that again.

I practiced a similar question where we had to secure access, and I think deploying with Private Service Connect could be the right choice.

I think GKE Autopilot could work too, but I feel like it might involve more management than I want.

I remember we discussed using Cloud Run for stateless applications, but I'm not sure about the Private Google Access part.

I'm pretty confident that option B, Cloud Run with Private Google Access, is the way to go here. It meets all the requirements, and the managed serverless platform should make it easy to update the app frequently with minimal effort on my part.

Okay, let me think this through. The key requirements are internal network access, minimal cloud infrastructure, and easy updates. I'm leaning towards option C - GKE Autopilot with Private Google Access. That way, I can take advantage of the managed Kubernetes service and still have the private network access I need.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions wanting to update the web app multiple times a day, so I'm wondering if Cloud Run is the best option since it might require more manual effort to deploy new versions. Maybe GKE Autopilot with Private Google Access would be a better choice?

This looks like a pretty straightforward question. I think I'll go with option B - Deploy the web application on Cloud Run with Private Google Access configured. That seems like the easiest way to meet the requirements of being reachable from the internal network and minimizing cloud infrastructure management.

Haha, I bet the exam designers are trying to trick us with all these similar-sounding options. But I think Option B is the way to go.

I don't know, the Kubernetes management in Option A might be overkill for a simple web app. Cloud Run with Private Service Connect in Option D could be a good compromise.
