Why each option
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is the correct service for running containerized workloads when full control over configuration is required.
Cloud Run is a fully managed serverless container platform that abstracts away infrastructure and cluster configuration, providing less control in exchange for reduced operational overhead.
Compute Engine provides virtual machines for running arbitrary workloads but is not a container orchestration service and does not natively manage containerized workloads at scale.
Google Kubernetes Engine provides a fully managed Kubernetes environment where operators retain granular control over cluster configuration, networking, node pools, resource limits, scheduling policies, and workload definitions via Kubernetes manifests. This level of control is inherent to the Kubernetes model and distinguishes GKE from more abstracted container services. Organizations can configure every aspect of how their containerized workloads run while still benefiting from Google's managed control plane.
Cloud Functions is a serverless, event-driven execution environment for single-purpose functions and does not support running or configuring multi-container workloads.
