Correct answer: Deploy to Cloud Run (fully managed) and set min instances to 0..
Why this is the answer
Cloud Run (fully managed) is the ideal choice because it's a serverless platform designed for stateless containers that can scale down to zero instances when not in use. Setting min instances to 0 ensures no cost accrues outside business hours. Cloud Run for Anthos, while similar, runs on a GKE cluster, incurring cluster costs even when the app scales to zero. App Engine flexible environment with mininstances: 0 in app.yaml is not supported; the minimum is 1. App Engine flexible with manual scaling and instances: 0 would effectively shut down the application, requiring manual intervention to restart it, which isn't practical for an app needed during business hours.
