Question

You are building an application that runs on Cloud Run. The application needs to access a third-party API by using an API key. You need to determine a secure way to store and use the API key in your application by following Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Save the API key in Secret Manager as a secret. Reference the secret as an environment variable in the Cloud Run application. Cloud Run runs stateless containers serverlessly and scales to zero, minimizing operational overhead. Secret Manager stores and controls access to secrets such as API keys and credentials.
