Question 21
In the final phase of migrating an on-premises data center to Google Cloud, you have encountered a web API running on a server that is scheduled for decommissioning. To modernize this API while migrating to Google Cloud, you need to suggest a solution. The modernized web API should fulfill the following requirements:
• In high traffic periods at the end of each month, it should autoscale.
• Written in Python 3.x
• Developers must be able to quickly deploy new versions in response to frequent code changes.
You need to minimize the cost, effort, and operational overhead of the migration.
What actions do you need to take?
- A Modernize and deploy the code on App Engine standard environment.
- B Request the development team to convert the application to operate as a Docker container on Google Kubernetes Engine.
- C Modernize and deploy the code on App Engine flexible environment.
- D Deploy the updated application to a n1-standard-1 Compute Engine instance.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The best solution to modernize the web API while migrating to Google Cloud is to deploy the code on App Engine standard environment. According to the Professional Google Cloud Developer documentation, the App Engine standard environment provides a fully managed platform that allows developers to focus on writing code without worrying about infrastructure or servers. It also supports autoscaling, making it ideal for handling high traffic periods at the end of each month. Additionally, App Engine standard environment supports Python 3.x, which meets the requirement of the modernized web API. Finally, developers can deploy new versions quickly and efficiently using the App Engine standard environment, making it a cost-effective and low-overhead solution.Discussion
