Which of the following is the correct way to describe the free tier for Google Cloud Functions?
AIt offers unlimited invocations and compute time for all users
BIt charges a small fee for every invocation regardless of usage
CIt provides a fixed number of free invocations and compute time each month
DIt only applies to functions running in specific regions
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand free tier basics
The free tier gives a set amount of free invocations and compute time monthly, not unlimited usage.
Step 2: Compare options
It provides a fixed number of free invocations and compute time each month correctly states the free tier provides fixed free usage. It offers unlimited invocations and compute time for all users is wrong because it says unlimited. It charges a small fee for every invocation regardless of usage is wrong because free tier means no charge up to limits. It only applies to functions running in specific regions is incorrect as free tier applies globally.
Final Answer:
It provides a fixed number of free invocations and compute time each month -> Option C
Quick Check:
Free tier = fixed free usage monthly [OK]
Quick Trick:Free tier means limited free usage, not unlimited [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Assuming free tier is unlimited
Thinking free tier applies only in some regions
Believing every invocation is charged
