Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer Question 58
Select 4Google Cloud PlatformYour organization is deploying a critical application that must run across both Google Cloud and an on-premises data center. You are tasked with setting up a hybrid environment using GKE Enterprise to ensure consistent deployment and operations across both environments. Which of the following steps are necessary to achieve this setup?
- A
Set up Anthos Config Management to enforce consistent configuration policies across GKE clusters.
- B
Use a stateful deployment strategy to ensure data is replicated between Google Cloud and the on-premises environment.
- C
Install and configure the Connect Agent on the on-premises Kubernetes cluster to enable it to be managed by Anthos.
- D
Enable the Multi-Cluster Ingress feature to simplify application traffic management across Google Cloud and on-premises clusters.
- E
Configure workload identity to securely authenticate applications running in the GKE clusters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D, E
Explanation
To deploy a hybrid environment with GKE Enterprise, you must leverage Anthos Config Management for consistent configurations, use the Connect Agent to integrate on-premises clusters into Anthos, and enable Multi-Cluster Ingress to manage traffic across the environments. Secure application authentication is ensured through workload identity. However, a stateful deployment strategy is not directly required for hybrid environments and would depend on the specific application requirements.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Anthos Config Management ensures consistent configuration and policy enforcement across GKE clusters in hybrid and multi-cloud setups.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: A stateful deployment strategy is not inherently required for hybrid deployments and does not ensure data replication directly. Data replication is typically handled by specific storage solutions.
- C. Correct.
Correct: The Connect Agent is essential for integrating on-premises Kubernetes clusters into Anthos for centralized management.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Multi-Cluster Ingress simplifies traffic management by providing a unified ingress layer across multiple clusters, including hybrid environments.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Workload identity is critical for securely authenticating applications running in GKE clusters by leveraging Google Cloud IAM.
