Google Associate Cloud Engineer Exam - Topic 5 Question 91 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Associate Cloud Engineer exam
Question #: 91
Topic #: 5
[All Associate Cloud Engineer Questions]

Your manager asks you to deploy a workload to a Kubernetes cluster. You are not sure of the workloads resource requirements or how the requirements might vary depending on usage patterns, external dependencies, or other factors. You need a solution that makes cost-effective recommendations regarding CPU and memory requirements, and allows the workload to function consistently in any situation. You want to follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

I'm leaning towards option B because it mentions both Horizontal and Vertical Autoscalers, but I’m a bit confused about how they work together for recommendations.

I practiced a similar question where the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler was used for scaling based on CPU usage. Maybe that's the right choice here?

I think the Vertical Pod Autoscaler is supposed to help with resource requests, but I can't recall if it also handles availability.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Based on the Google-recommended practices, I think the best approach is to use the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler for availability and the Cluster Autoscaler for suggestions on the optimal CPU and memory requirements.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to use the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler for availability, and the Vertical Pod Autoscaler for cost-effective resource recommendations. That way, I can ensure the workload functions consistently while also optimizing for efficiency.

This seems like a tricky question, but I think I have a strategy. I'll need to carefully consider the different autoscalers and how they work together to optimize for both availability and cost-effectiveness.
