Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 287

Your company is modernizing its applications and refactoring them to containerized microservices. You need to deploy the infrastructure on Google Cloud so that teams can deploy their applications. The applications cannot be exposed publicly. You want to minimize management and operational overhead. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Provision a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Autopilot cluster.
• B. Provision a fleet of Compute Engine instances and install Kubernetes.
• C. Provision a Standard regional Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster.
• D. Provision a Standard zonal Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a GKE Autopilot cluster automates the management of the infrastructure, reducing operational overhead while providing a secure environment for microservices. Options B, C, and D involve either manual setup or do not provide the same level of automation and management efficiency as the Autopilot option.
