Your organization wants to run a container-based application on Google (Digital Leader)
Your organization wants to run a container-based application on Google Cloud. This application is expected to increase in complexity. You have a security need for fine-grained control of traffic between the containers. You also have an operational need to exercise fine-grained control over the application's scaling policies.
What Google Cloud product or feature should your organization use?
A) Google Kubernetes Engine cluster.
B) App Engine.
C) Cloud Run.
D) Compute Engine virtual machines.
Solution
Correct answer: A) Google Kubernetes Engine cluster.
GKE a better fit since the requirement is for "security need for fine-grained control of traffic between the containers" and "fine-grained control over scaling policies". Such level of control is easier on GKE that Cloud Run.
While App Engine (B) and Cloud Run (C) handle containers, they lack the granular control and flexibility needed for your complex application with strict security and scaling requirements. Compute Engine VMs (D) provide full control but require manual container orchestration and lack fine-grained scaling tools.
GKE delivers the comprehensive container platform and control you need, adapting to your application's growth and security demands.
