Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 273

You are planning to migrate your containerized workloads to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). You need to determine which GKE option to use. Your solution must have high availability, minimal downtime, and the ability to promptly apply security updates to your nodes. You also want to pay only for the compute resources that your workloads use without managing nodes. You want to follow Google-recommended practices and minimize operational costs. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Configure a Standard regional GKE duster.
• B. Configure a Standard zonal GKE duster.
• C. Configure a Standard multi-zonal GKE cluster.
• D. Configure an Autopilot GKE cluster.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as Autopilot GKE clusters manage the underlying infrastructure for you, ensuring high availability and security updates with minimal operational effort. Options A, B, and C require more management of nodes and may incur additional costs or downtime, making them less suitable for the specified requirements.
