GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question

Your organization is migrating an on-premises monolith to microservices on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Quality assurance currently uses a single, long-lived staging cluster that frequently drifts from production, leading to late defect discovery. Leadership wants to accelerate release cadence, reduce staging costs, and ensure every change is validated against production-like infrastructure. Which change to the SDLC best accomplishes these goals while taking advantage of Google Cloud capabilities?

  • Eliminate the staging environment and have QA attach Cloud Debugger sessions directly to production pods to validate fixes in real time.

  • Use Cloud Build triggers to spin up an isolated GKE namespace for each pull request, deploy the candidate microservices, run automated tests, and delete the namespace when tests finish.

  • Move the staging environment to preemptible Compute Engine VMs, run nightly batch integration tests, and promote images after manual approval.

  • Keep a shared staging GKE cluster but schedule weekly rolling updates and rely on Cloud Monitoring alerts to catch configuration drift.
