Question: How does Cloud Functions connect and extend cloud services?
- It provides a layer of logic so that organizations can write code to access other services.
- It removes unnecessary data from a container.
- It patches operating systems.
- It adds files to a storage system.
Explanation
Cloud Functions connects Google Cloud services by running event-driven code in response to triggers. It provides a serverless execution layer for adding custom logic between services. This allows applications to react to events from products such as storage, messaging, and databases without managing servers. The business value is easier service integration with reduced infrastructure operations.
Why the other options are incorrect
Removes unnecessary data describes data cleanup, not how Cloud Functions connects services.
Patches operating systems is infrastructure maintenance, not an application integration function.
Adds files describes storage activity, not the logic layer provided by Cloud Functions.
