Scale is, without a doubt, what a LOT of companies simply don‘t do or don‘t do well. The reality is that no service on the planet would need to face an takedown, EVER. There are enough ressources in enough regions to furfill everything needed, not just from Google also from other Datacenters. But the truth is companies simply don‘t care about a constant available service and a good UX. Even that there are wonderful and cost efficient ways to scale.
Great video and loved the flow of choosing the right compute resource. Although I did notice that the one requirement was to "scale to zero resources" and that would have taken App Engine out of the running right off the hop. To run Containers in App Engine you need to use their Flex plan (the only App Engine plan that allows containers). The Flex plan can scale down to 1 instance BUT not zero. Documentation for App Engine plans Standard and Flex compare here: cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/the-appengine-environments#comparing_high-level_features under Feature -> Scale to zero

Nice I'm working on it.
