Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Lab - Scalability and Instance Types in App Engine

The video tutorial covers the importance of scalability in applications, particularly in cloud environments like Google App Engine. It explains the need to control scalability to manage costs effectively. The tutorial details the features of Google App Engine, including automatic and manual scaling, and how to configure these using YAML files. It also discusses key parameters for automatic scaling, such as CPU utilization and latency, and provides practical tips for deploying applications with these scaling features.

What is the significance of scalability in applications?

Why should you control the scalability of your application instead of letting Google Cloud handle it?

What is the importance of understanding application requirements before scaling?

What are the two types of scaling available in Google App Engine?

What is the default instance type when no parameters are specified in the YAML file?

Explain how manual scaling works in Google App Engine.

What parameters can you set for automatic scaling in Google App Engine?

How does the target CPU utilization affect instance scaling?

What happens if you specify an automatic scaling type with an instance class of type B?

Describe the pricing considerations when using Google App Engine.
