Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 259

You want to deploy a new containerized application into Google Cloud by using a Kubernetes manifest. You want to have full control over the Kubernetes deployment, and at the same time, you want to minimize configuring infrastructure. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Deploy the application on GKE Autopilot.
• B. Deploy the application on Cloud Run.
• C. Deploy the application on GKE Standard.
• D. Deploy the application on Cloud Functions.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as GKE Autopilot allows you to manage Kubernetes deployments with minimal infrastructure configuration while still providing full control over the Kubernetes environment. Option B, Cloud Run, abstracts away Kubernetes management, which does not meet the requirement for full control. Options C and D, GKE Standard and Cloud Functions, either require more infrastructure setup or do not utilize Kubernetes manifests effectively.
