[All Associate Cloud Engineer Questions]

You are using Deployment Manager to create a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster. Using the same Deployment Manager deployment, you also want to create a DaemonSet in the kube-system namespace of the cluster. You want a solution that uses the fewest possible services. What should you do?

AAdd the cluster's API as a new Type Provider in Deployment Manager, and use the new type to create the DaemonSet.

BUse the Deployment Manager Runtime Configurator to create a new Config resource that contains the DaemonSet definition.

CWith Deployment Manager, create a Compute Engine instance with a startup script that uses kubectl to create the DaemonSet.

DIn the cluster's definition in Deployment Manager, add a metadata that has kube-system as key and the DaemonSet manifest as value.

Suggested Answer: A

A managed instance group (MIG) is a group of identical virtual machines (VMs) that you can manage as a single entity. You can use a MIG to deploy and maintain a stateless application that runs directly on VMs. A MIG can automatically scale the number of VMs based on the load or a schedule. A MIG can also automatically heal the VMs if they become unhealthy or unavailable. A MIG is suitable for applications that need to run on VMs rather than containers or serverless platforms.

B is incorrect because Kubernetes Engine is a managed service for running containerized applications on a cluster of nodes. It is not necessary to use Kubernetes Engine if the application does not use containers and can run directly on VMs.

C is incorrect because Cloud Functions is a serverless platform for running event-driven code in response to triggers. It is not suitable for applications that need to run continuously and handle HTTP requests.

D is incorrect because Cloud Run is a serverless platform for running stateless containerized applications. It is not suitable for applications that do not use containers and can run directly on VMs.

Creating a Compute Engine instance with a startup script? That's a creative solution, but it also feels a bit convoluted. I think I'll stick with the Deployment Manager options.
