A company has a Cloud Run service that needs to access a Compute Engine VM that is only accessible within a VPC. The Cloud Run service is in the same region as the VM. They want to minimize latency and avoid going through the public internet. What should they do?

Use a VPC connector to connect the Cloud Run service to the VPC, and use the VM's internal IP address.

Use Cloud NAT to allow the Cloud Run service to access the VM's external IP.

Use Serverless VPC Access and assign an external IP to the VM.

Use VPC peering between the Cloud Run service and the VM's VPC.

A company is deploying a microservices application on GKE. They have two services: one that is CPU-intensive and one that is memory-intensive. They want to optimize resource utilization and cost. What should they do?

Use a single node pool with a general-purpose machine type for both services.

Deploy each service to a separate GKE cluster with its own node pool.

Use a single node pool with the largest machine type available to handle both workloads.

Create two node pools with different machine types: one compute-optimized and one memory-optimized, and schedule each service on the appropriate pool using node selectors.
