CDLDescribe the functionality, business use cases, and business value of Google Cloud’s infrastructure offerings.
Objective 4.2 sits in Modernize Infrastructure and Applications with Google Cloud, which carries 18% of the Cloud Digital Leader exam. The questions below are original, written from the official objective title above, and each explanation cites the Google Cloud page it rests on.

A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A team has a nightly script that processes a set of files and then exits. Which Cloud Run resource type fits that work?
Correct.
Concept
Runtime shape follows the lifecycle of the work. Something that finishes needs a different unit from something that waits for callers.
Why D
A Cloud Run job executes parallelizable tasks that run to completion, started either manually or on a schedule.
