Explanation

B: With Container Engine, Google will automatically deploy your cluster for you, update, patch, secure the nodes. Kubernetes Engine's cluster autoscaler automatically resizes clusters based on the demands of the workloads you want to run. C: Solutions like Datastore, BigQuery, AppEngine, etc are truly NoOps. App Engine by default scales the number of instances running up and down to match the load, thus providing consistent performance for your app at all times while minimizing idle instances and thus reducing cost. Note: At a high level, NoOps means that there is no infrastructure to build out and manage during usage of the platform. Typically, the compromise you make with NoOps is that you lose control of the underlying infrastructure. Cloud-Platform%E2%80%99s-NoOps-claim
