Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 219

You want to set up a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster. Verifiable node identity and integrity are required for the cluster, and nodes cannot be accessed from the internet. You want to reduce the operational cost of managing your cluster, and you want to follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Deploy a private autopilot cluster.
• B. Deploy a public autopilot cluster.
• C. Deploy a standard public cluster and enable shielded nodes.
• D. Deploy a standard private cluster and enable shielded nodes.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as deploying a private autopilot cluster meets the requirements of having no internet access and reducing management costs. Option B is incorrect because a public cluster would expose nodes to the internet. Option C does not meet the requirement for a private setup, and while option D enables shielded nodes, it does not utilize the autopilot feature that simplifies management.
