Actual exam question for Google's Associate Cloud Engineer exam

Question #: 86
Topic #: 4

[All Associate Cloud Engineer Questions]

You are using Deployment Manager to create a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster. Using the same Deployment Manager deployment, you also want to create a DaemonSet in the kube-system namespace of the cluster. You want a solution that uses the fewest possible services. What should you do?

AAdd the cluster's API as a new Type Provider in Deployment Manager, and use the new type to create the DaemonSet.

BUse the Deployment Manager Runtime Configurator to create a new Config resource that contains the DaemonSet definition.

CWith Deployment Manager, create a Compute Engine instance with a startup script that uses kubectl to create the DaemonSet.

DIn the cluster's definition in Deployment Manager, add a metadata that has kube-system as key and the DaemonSet manifest as value.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

A managed instance group (MIG) is a group of identical virtual machines (VMs) that you can manage as a single entity. You can use a MIG to deploy and maintain a stateless application that runs directly on VMs. A MIG can automatically scale the number of VMs based on the load or a schedule. A MIG can also automatically heal the VMs if they become unhealthy or unavailable. A MIG is suitable for applications that need to run on VMs rather than containers or serverless platforms.

B is incorrect because Kubernetes Engine is a managed service for running containerized applications on a cluster of nodes. It is not necessary to use Kubernetes Engine if the application does not use containers and can run directly on VMs.

C is incorrect because Cloud Functions is a serverless platform for running event-driven code in response to triggers. It is not suitable for applications that need to run continuously and handle HTTP requests.

D is incorrect because Cloud Run is a serverless platform for running stateless containerized applications. It is not suitable for applications that do not use containers and can run directly on VMs.

Option D seems interesting, but I can't recall if adding metadata like that is the right approach for Deployment Manager.

I feel like creating a Compute Engine instance with a startup script, like in option C, is a bit overkill for just a DaemonSet.

I remember practicing with the Runtime Configurator, so option B might be the way to go, but I’m not confident about the specifics.

I think option A sounds familiar, but I'm not entirely sure how to add the API as a Type Provider.

This is straightforward. I'd go with option B and use the Runtime Configurator to create the DaemonSet. That way, I can keep everything in Deployment Manager and avoid having to use additional services.

Okay, I think I've got this. Based on the question, it seems like the best approach would be to use the Deployment Manager Runtime Configurator to create a new Config resource that contains the DaemonSet definition. That way, I can manage the entire deployment through Deployment Manager.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the question. I'm not sure if I fully understand the relationship between Deployment Manager and Kubernetes. I'll need to review my notes on these services.

I think I'll just write a Python script that deploys the DaemonSet, the cluster, and my entire infrastructure. Who needs Deployment Manager when you have spaghetti code?
