GCP - Cloud Functions

What is a key difference in runtime environment between 1st and 2nd generation Cloud Functions?

A1st gen uses Cloud Run environment; 2nd gen uses App Engine

B2nd gen uses Cloud Run environment; 1st gen uses a sandboxed environment

CBoth use the same runtime environment

D1st gen uses Kubernetes; 2nd gen uses Cloud Functions runtime

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify runtime environments
1st generation Cloud Functions run in a sandboxed environment managed by Google.
Step 2: Understand 2nd generation runtime
2nd generation Cloud Functions run on Cloud Run, which offers more flexibility and control.
Final Answer:
2nd gen uses Cloud Run; 1st gen uses sandbox -> Option B
Quick Check:
Runtime environment difference = 2nd gen uses Cloud Run [OK]

Quick Trick: 2nd gen runs on Cloud Run, 1st gen on sandbox [OK]
