GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question

A financial services company is decomposing its on-premises monolith into dozens of stateless microservices that will run on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Cloud Run. Each service will be owned by an autonomous squad that needs to deploy features to production several times per day without impacting other teams. As the lead cloud architect, you must recommend how the software development life cycle (SDLC) should evolve to support this cloud-native, multi-tier architecture while minimizing integration risk. Which approach best meets these goals?

  • Adopt trunk-based development with short-lived feature branches, automatically triggered Cloud Build tests, and independent deployment pipelines for each microservice.

  • Assign a centralized release manager who coordinates a simultaneous deployment of all microservices after receiving sign-off from every squad.

  • Maintain long-lived release branches and schedule a monthly integration window where all services are merged, built, and deployed together.

  • Introduce a two-week enterprise-wide code-freeze each quarter to run manual regression tests on a single golden build before release.
