Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect — Question 226

Your organization is going to migrate applications to Kubernetes and use managed cloud services to deploy applications. Your team is new to Kubernetes and wants to quickly onboard engineers. You want to reduce operational overhead, so the engineering team can focus on developing consumer requirements instead of maintaining the infrastructure. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Package your application into a Docker image, and deploy it to Kubernetes on Compute Engine.
• B. Leverage Cloud Build to create a container image, and deploy it automatically to Kubernetes on Compute Engine.
• C. Assess application and dependencies for containerization Develop a migration strategy for deployment to GKE in Standard mode.
• D. Assess application and dependencies for containerization. Develop a migration strategy for deployment to GKE in Autopilot mode.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as deploying to GKE in Autopilot mode reduces operational overhead by automating infrastructure management. Options A and B involve manual deployment processes and don't address the need for reduced operational burdens. Option C, while considering migration, suggests Standard mode, which still requires more management than Autopilot mode.
