Explanation

Cloud Run and Cloud App Engine Standard are both correct because they are serverless compute options that scale to zero when not in use - meaning you pay nothing when the application is idle. This is ideal for an infrequently used reporting tool (weekly, monthly, quarterly). Cloud Run is a fully managed serverless container platform that automatically scales based on HTTP requests. Cloud App Engine Standard also scales to zero and charges only for actual request handling time. Compute Engine and Kubernetes Engine both require always-on infrastructure (or at minimum, persistent cluster nodes), making them costly and operationally heavy for a rarely used tool.
