Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 43

You create a new Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster and want to make sure that it always runs a supported and stable version of Kubernetes. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Enable the Node Auto-Repair feature for your GKE cluster.
• B. Enable the Node Auto-Upgrades feature for your GKE cluster.
• C. Select the latest available cluster version for your GKE cluster.
• D. Select ג€Container-Optimized OS (cos)ג€ as a node image for your GKE cluster.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as enabling Node Auto-Upgrades ensures that your GKE cluster is automatically updated to the latest stable version of Kubernetes, maintaining support and stability. Option A, Node Auto-Repair, focuses on fixing unhealthy nodes rather than version management. Option C requires manual selection of the latest version, which does not guarantee ongoing updates. Option D relates to the operating system of the nodes, not the Kubernetes version itself.
