Question

You built a web application with several containerized microservices. You want to run those microservices on Cloud Run. You must also ensure that the services are highly available to your customers with low latency. What should you do?

Explanation

Cloud Run is a fully managed serverless platform that automatically handles availability zone distribution within a region - you cannot manually select individual availability zones for Cloud Run deployments. To achieve high availability and low latency for a global user base, the correct approach is to deploy Cloud Run services to multiple regions and use a global load balancer to route users to the nearest region. Options A and C incorrectly suggest deploying to multiple availability zones, which is not a user-configurable option in Cloud Run. Options B and D both state 'multiple regions,' but B is the intended correct answer. Multi-region deployment ensures that if one region has an outage, traffic fails over to another region, satisfying the high availability requirement.
