💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '1' instead of '2' for the generation flag.

Using 'latest' which is not a valid generation option.

The --gen 2 flag specifies the second generation Cloud Function, which supports newer features.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '--gen 2' for a first generation function.

Omitting the generation flag when required.

First generation Cloud Functions use --gen 1. The region flag is optional but allowed.

4fill in blank

Fill both blanks to configure a 2nd generation Cloud Function with memory and timeout.

GCP

gcloud functions deploy my-function --runtime go120 --trigger-http --gen 2 --memory [1] --timeout [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using too low memory like 128MB for heavier workloads.

Setting timeout too high or without 's' suffix.

Second generation functions support memory like 512MB and timeout like 60s.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a 2nd generation Cloud Function with environment variables and service account.

GCP

gcloud functions deploy my-function --runtime nodejs18 --trigger-http --gen 2 --set-env-vars [1] --service-account [2] --region [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'
