You want to deploy a static HTML application (containing images, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) to the internet with minimal steps. The application serves as an FAQ resource for your product.
What is the simplest way to host and publish this static website?
Explanation:
The question asks for hosting a static website with minimal steps. Cloud Storage (Option A) is the best choice because it allows hosting static content (HTML, CSS, JS, images) directly by uploading files to a bucket, configuring permissions, and enabling static website hosting—requiring no complex setup. App Engine (Option B) is viable but involves additional steps like creating an app.yaml file and deploying, which is slightly more involved than Cloud Storage. Compute Engine (C) and GKE (D) require manual server setup or containerization, which are unnecessarily complex for a static site.
