    GCP ACE · Question 22 · Domain 3.2: Deploying and implementing GKE resources

    You need to create a new Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) standard cluster named 'web-cluster' with 3 nodes in the us-central1-a zone using the command line.

    Which gcloud command should you use?

    Answer options:

    A.

    gcloud container clusters create web-cluster --zone us-central1-a --num-nodes 3

    B.

    gcloud compute clusters create web-cluster --zone us-central1-a --num-nodes 3

    C.

    kubectl create cluster web-cluster --zone us-central1-a --nodes 3

    D.

    gcloud gke clusters create web-cluster --zone us-central1-a --num-nodes 3

    How to approach this question

    Remember the gcloud command group for Kubernetes Engine. It is 'container', not 'gke' or 'compute'.

    Full Answer

    A.gcloud container clusters create web-cluster --zone us-central1-a --num-nodes 3✓ Correct
    In the Google Cloud SDK, all commands related to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) are grouped under `gcloud container`. Therefore, to create a cluster, you use `gcloud container clusters create [CLUSTER_NAME]`. The `--zone` and `--num-nodes` flags specify the location and size.

    Common mistakes

    Using `kubectl` to try and create the cluster infrastructure, or guessing `gcloud gke`.
