You have a GKE cluster running and you have written a Kubernetes Deployment manifest file named `app-deployment.yaml`. You want to deploy this application to your cluster.

Which command should you run?

Answer options:

gcloud container deployments create app-deployment.yaml

kubectl apply -f app-deployment.yaml

kubectl run app-deployment.yaml

gcloud run deploy --file app-deployment.yaml

How to approach this question

Identify the standard Kubernetes command for applying declarative manifests.

Full Answer

B.kubectl apply -f app-deployment.yaml✓ Correct

While `gcloud` is used to manage GCP infrastructure (like creating the GKE cluster), `kubectl` is the Kubernetes command-line tool used to deploy and manage applications inside the cluster. `kubectl apply -f [FILENAME]` is the standard declarative command to deploy resources defined in a YAML manifest.

Common mistakes

Trying to use `gcloud` to deploy Kubernetes pods/deployments.
