Your company is developing a new application that will allow globally distributed users to upload pictures and share them with other selected users. The application needs to support millions of concurrent users effectively and efficiently. Given the high scale and global distribution requirements, it is crucial to choose a deployment service that minimizes the need for infrastructure management, allowing developers to concentrate solely on coding and feature development. Which Google Cloud service should you use to deploy the application?
Explanation:
The correct answer is A (App Engine). App Engine is a fully managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that allows developers to focus on writing code without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. It handles all aspects of infrastructure management, including scaling, load balancing, and monitoring, making it an ideal choice for applications that need to support millions of concurrent users globally. While other options like Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or Compute Engine require more hands-on management and infrastructure configuration, App Engine abstracts these complexities away, allowing developers to concentrate on their application logic. Cloud Endpoints, on the other hand, is primarily used for managing APIs and not for deploying entire applications.
