Which of the following is the correct way to reduce cold start time in a serverless function on GCP?

easy📝 Configuration Q12 of 15

GCP - Cloud Functions

AUse a larger instance type for the function

BIncrease the memory allocation to zero

CDisable all logging to speed up startup

DKeep the function code minimal and dependencies small

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify factors affecting cold start
Cold start time depends on how much code and dependencies need loading. Smaller code and fewer dependencies reduce startup time.
Step 2: Evaluate options
Keep the function code minimal and dependencies small correctly suggests minimizing code and dependencies. Increase the memory allocation to zero is invalid (memory can't be zero). Disable all logging to speed up startup disables logging but doesn't affect cold start much. Use a larger instance type for the function is irrelevant for serverless functions.
Final Answer:
Keep the function code minimal and dependencies small -> Option D
Quick Check:
Smaller code = faster cold start [OK]

Quick Trick: Smaller code and dependencies reduce cold start [OK]
