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

    You need to deploy a new Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Standard cluster named 'my-cluster' with 3 nodes in the us-central1-a zone.

    Which gcloud command should you use?

    Answer options:

    A.

    gcloud compute clusters create my-cluster --nodes=3 --zone=us-central1-a

    B.

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

    C.

    kubectl create cluster my-cluster --nodes=3 --zone=us-central1-a

    D.

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

    How to approach this question

    Remember that GKE commands in the gcloud CLI fall under the 'container' command group.

    Full Answer

    B.gcloud container clusters create my-cluster --num-nodes=3 --zone=us-central1-a✓ Correct
    gcloud container clusters create my-cluster --num-nodes=3 --zone=us-central1-a
    The correct command to create a GKE cluster is `gcloud container clusters create [CLUSTER_NAME]`. You use `--num-nodes` to specify the size of the default node pool and `--zone` to specify the location.

    Common mistakes

    Using `kubectl` to try and create the cluster, or using the wrong gcloud group like `compute`.
