What type of data does the Carbon Footprint tool in Google Cloud provide to customers?

Water consumption of data centers in their region

The exact source of electricity for each request

Gross carbon emissions associated with their Google Cloud usage

Real-time energy consumption of individual virtual machines

A company has a critical application that must run in a specific region for data residency reasons. They want to reduce its carbon footprint. What is the most effective approach?

Optimize the application to use fewer resources, such as by using autoscaling and efficient services.

Use a larger machine to finish tasks faster.

Move the application to a region with lower carbon intensity.

Run the application only during off-peak hours.

How can a Google Cloud customer use region selection to support sustainability goals?

By choosing a region with a lower carbon intensity energy grid

By selecting the region with the lowest latency regardless of energy source

By using only regions in the same country as the company headquarters

By always using the newest region to get the latest hardware

A company wants to report its carbon emissions to a customer who requires a breakdown by service type (e.g., compute, storage). They use Google Cloud. What is the most effective way to get this breakdown?

Use Cloud Billing to estimate emissions by service based on cost.

Use Carbon Footprint and filter by service.

Use Cloud Monitoring to track emissions by service.

Use the Recommender to get emissions by service.

How can using managed services like Cloud Run or App Engine contribute to sustainability?

They always run on the most energy-efficient hardware

They automatically use renewable energy exclusively

They scale to zero when idle, reducing wasted compute

They eliminate the need for any code optimization
