You have successfully created a GKE cluster and authenticated your local kubectl tool to it. You now want to deploy a containerized application using an image named 'nginx:latest'.

Which command should you use to create a deployment named 'my-nginx'?

Answer options:

gcloud container deploy my-nginx --image=nginx:latest

kubectl run my-nginx --image=nginx:latest

kubectl create deployment my-nginx --image=nginx:latest

docker run --name my-nginx nginx:latest

How to approach this question

Identify the correct Kubernetes CLI (kubectl) command for creating a Deployment.

Full Answer

C.kubectl create deployment my-nginx --image=nginx:latest✓ Correct

kubectl create deployment my-nginx --image=nginx:latest

To deploy applications inside a GKE cluster, you use `kubectl`. The imperative command to create a Deployment is `kubectl create deployment [NAME] --image=[IMAGE]`. (Note: `kubectl run` now creates a Pod, not a Deployment).

Common mistakes

Using `gcloud` instead of `kubectl`, or using `kubectl run` expecting it to create a Deployment.
