Autoscaling — Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect Practice Questions
Autoscaling allows GCP services to automatically adjust compute capacity in response to demand, reducing cost during low traffic and maintaining performance during spikes. The Professional Cloud Architect exam covers autoscaling across multiple products including Managed Instance Groups, GKE Horizontal Pod Autoscaler, Cloud Run, and App Engine, each with distinct configuration parameters and scaling triggers. Candidates must understand how to set appropriate scaling policies, cooldown periods, and minimum and maximum instance limits to avoid both over-provisioning and service degradation.
