    GCP PCA · Question 27 · Compute Systems

    A financial institution wants to modernize its applications using containers. However, due to strict regulatory requirements, some core banking databases and the applications that query them must remain in their on-premises data center. They want a unified way to manage Kubernetes clusters and enforce security policies across both GCP and on-premises environments. What should you recommend?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Deploy GKE on GCP and use Cloud VPN to connect to standalone open-source Kubernetes clusters on-premises.

    B.

    Deploy Google Cloud Anthos to manage GKE clusters on GCP and Anthos clusters on VMware on-premises.

    C.

    Migrate all applications to Cloud Run and connect to the on-premises databases via Dedicated Interconnect.

    D.

    Use Google Compute Engine VMs for all applications and manage them with Terraform.

    How to approach this question

    Identify Google's hybrid/multi-cloud Kubernetes management platform.

    Full Answer

    B.Deploy Google Cloud Anthos to manage GKE clusters on GCP and Anthos clusters on VMware on-premises.✓ Correct
    Google Cloud Anthos is designed exactly for this hybrid scenario. It allows you to run Kubernetes clusters anywhere (GCP, on-premises via VMware/bare metal, or other clouds) while managing them centrally from the GCP Console. Anthos Config Management ensures that security and compliance policies are applied consistently across all environments.

    Common mistakes

    Suggesting DIY open-source Kubernetes on-prem, which lacks the unified management and policy enforcement requested.
