Google Professional Cloud Developer Question 224
Select 3Google Cloud PlatformYou are developing a containerized application for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). To streamline the development and deployment process, you decide to use Skaffold and Cloud Code. Which of the following steps would be appropriate for leveraging these tools during development?
- A
Use Cloud Code within your IDE to set up Skaffold configurations and enable continuous feedback during development.
- B
Manually write kubectl commands for every build and deploy cycle instead of relying on Skaffold.
- C
Run Skaffold in 'dev' mode to automatically rebuild and redeploy code when changes are detected.
- D
Use Cloud Code to debug your application directly within the IDE, leveraging Skaffold for container orchestration.
- E
Deploy your application to a local Kubernetes cluster without needing any Skaffold configuration.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
Skaffold and Cloud Code are powerful tools for streamlining the development of containerized applications, especially for GKE. Cloud Code provides IDE integrations for setting up Skaffold configurations, debugging, and continuous feedback, while Skaffold automates build and deploy tasks. Using these tools together allows developers to focus on coding rather than repetitive deployment tasks. The correct steps involve using Cloud Code for Skaffold configuration and debugging, and leveraging Skaffold's automated features like 'dev' mode for efficient development workflows.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Cloud Code integrates with your IDE to simplify Skaffold configuration and provides features like continuous feedback, helping you iterate quickly during development.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Manually writing kubectl commands for every build and deploy cycle is inefficient and contradicts the purpose of Skaffold, which automates these tasks.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Skaffold's 'dev' mode is specifically designed to watch for changes in your code and automatically rebuild and redeploy, streamlining the development process.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Cloud Code allows you to debug your containerized application directly within your IDE, and it uses Skaffold for managing the build and deployment processes.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Deploying to a local Kubernetes cluster without Skaffold configuration is not feasible as Skaffold requires configuration files to orchestrate deployments.
