Your development team wants to deploy a microservices application to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). The application has highly variable traffic. The operations team is currently understaffed and wants to minimize the time spent managing node pools, OS upgrades, and capacity planning. However, the security team requires that the cluster uses Workload Identity and is entirely private (no public IP addresses for nodes). Which GKE configuration should you choose?
