GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your team runs a stateless API that experiences unpredictable traffic spikes. They want to run the service on Kubernetes with these requirements:

  • Operations engineers should not have to manage, patch, or scale worker nodes.
  • The solution should incur no compute charges when no application Pods are running.
  • Billing must be based on the vCPU and memory requested by running Pods, not on the size of virtual machines.
  • By default, privileged or host-level container access must be blocked.

Which deployment option best meets these requirements?

  • Create a GKE Autopilot cluster in the required region.

  • Create a regional GKE Standard cluster with node auto-provisioning and automatic upgrades enabled.

  • Deploy the containers to Cloud Run fully managed.

  • Create a zonal GKE Standard cluster that uses Spot VM nodes for cost savings.
