Correct Answer
Actual resource usage (CPU, RAM, Disk) by your pods
Why This Answer Is Correct
Autopilot manages the infrastructure for you and bills you per-second for the resources your running pods actually request, rather than the raw capacity of VMs.
This question evaluates your knowledge of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) — a core concept tested in Professional Cloud Architect. Understanding Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is essential for designing scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures. Mastery of this topic will help you answer scenario-based questions confidently on exam day.
Your company is running a stateful application on GKE. You need to ensure that when a pod is rescheduled to a different node, it can still access its persistent data. What must you use?
A global enterprise needs to implement a Disaster Recovery (DR) solution for their multi-region GKE deployment. They want to ensure that in the event of a regional failure, user traffic is automatically rerouted to the secondary region with minimal latency. What is the key component?
To prevent unauthorized lateral movement in a GKE cluster if a pod is compromised, what security feature should you implement?
Scenario: To secure a GKE cluster for a HIPAA-compliant workload, an architect wants to ensure that all administrative actions (e.g., creating a deployment) are logged. Which tool is essential?
How can you securely store and retrieve secrets in GKE without hardcoding them in your application code or Dockerfile?
