GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question

Your team operates a regional GKE cluster that serves a real-time bidding API. Each request causes short CPU spikes, and traffic varies widely: during peaks pods hit 90 % CPU and new replicas stay Pending because the nodes are full; at night overall load falls to 5 %. You must absorb traffic bursts automatically yet keep VM spending low during quiet periods with no manual actions. Which configuration best meets these goals?

  • Create a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler targeting 70 % CPU but keep the node pool at a fixed size.

  • Enable Cluster Autoscaler on the node pool with min 0 and max 20 nodes but remove any Horizontal Pod Autoscaler.

  • Use a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler targeting 70 % CPU and also enable Cluster Autoscaler on the node pool with a low minimum and a high maximum node count.

  • Migrate the Deployment to Cloud Run and set concurrency to allow scaling from zero to many instances.
