You want your Cloud Run service to handle sudden traffic spikes efficiently without wasting resources during low traffic. Which combination of settings is best?

hard📝 Best Practice Q15 of 15

GCP - Cloud Functions

ASet concurrency to a moderate number (e.g., 10) and allow max instances to scale high

BSet concurrency to 1 and max instances to 1

CSet concurrency very high (e.g., 100) and max instances low (e.g., 2)

DDisable concurrency and fix max instances to 10

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Balance concurrency and scaling for efficiency
Moderate concurrency lets each instance handle multiple requests, saving resources.
Step 2: Allow max instances to scale high for spikes
High max instances lets the service add instances when traffic spikes, keeping performance.
Final Answer:
Set concurrency to a moderate number (e.g., 10) and allow max instances to scale high -> Option A
Quick Check:
Moderate concurrency + high max instances = efficient scaling [OK]

Quick Trick: Moderate concurrency + high max instances for spikes [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Setting concurrency too low wastes instances
Setting concurrency too high risks crashes
Fixing max instances limits scaling
