B : Develop a web application that listens for incoming requests and deploy the application as a GoogleKubernetes Engine (GKE) Deployment. Use Cloud Scheduler to call the HTTP endpoint.

C : Develop an application that runs the batch workload, and deploy the application as a Cloud Run Job.Use Cloud Scheduler to trigger the Job.

D : Develop a web application that listens for incoming requests and deploy the application as a Cloud Runservice. Use Cloud Scheduler to call the HTTP endpoint.

Answer: C

Question 3

C : 1. Create a service account.2. Give the Cloud Run Invoker role to that service account for your Cloud Run application.3. Create a Cloud Pub/Sub subscription that uses that service account and uses your Cloud Run application as the push endpoint.

D : 1. Deploy your application on Cloud Run on GKE with the connectivity set to Internal.2. Create a Cloud Pub/Sub subscription for that topic.3. In the same Google Kubernetes Engine cluster as your application, deploy a container that takes the messages and sends them to your application.
