You need to deploy a new Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Standard cluster named 'prod-cluster' with 3 nodes in the us-east1-b zone using the command line.
Which gcloud command should you use?
Answer options:
A.
gcloud compute clusters create prod-cluster --nodes=3 --zone=us-east1-b
B.
gcloud container clusters create prod-cluster --num-nodes=3 --zone=us-east1-b
C.
kubectl create cluster prod-cluster --nodes=3 --zone=us-east1-b
D.
gcloud kubernetes clusters create prod-cluster --num-nodes=3 --zone=us-east1-b
How to approach this question
Remember that in gcloud, GKE is managed under the 'container' component.
Full Answer
B.gcloud container clusters create prod-cluster --num-nodes=3 --zone=us-east1-b✓ Correct
gcloud container clusters create prod-cluster --num-nodes=3 --zone=us-east1-b
To manage Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) resources using the Cloud SDK, you use the `gcloud container` command group. The correct command to create a cluster is `gcloud container clusters create [CLUSTER_NAME]`. You then use flags like `--num-nodes` and `--zone` to configure it. `kubectl` is used later to deploy applications *onto* the cluster, not to create the cluster infrastructure.
Common mistakes
Using `kubectl` to try and create the cluster, or using `gcloud compute` instead of `gcloud container`.
