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

Which gcloud command should you use?

Answer options:

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

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

gcloud kubernetes clusters create prod-cluster --zone=us-central1-a --num-nodes=3

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

How to approach this question

Recall the gcloud command group for GKE.

Full Answer

B.gcloud container clusters create prod-cluster --zone=us-central1-a --num-nodes=3✓ Correct

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

To provision GKE infrastructure, you use the `gcloud container clusters create` command. The `--num-nodes` flag specifies the initial number of nodes per zone.

Common mistakes

Using `kubectl` to try and create the cluster, or using `gcloud kubernetes`.
