Quiz
Graded Assignment
1. What is a Kubernetes pod?
- A group of clusters
- A group of nodes
- A group of VMs
- A group of containers ✅
Explanation:
A Kubernetes pod is the smallest and simplest deployable unit in Kubernetes. It contains one or more containers that share networking and storage resources.
- Clusters contain multiple nodes, so a pod is not a group of clusters.
- Nodes are the physical/virtual machines running the workloads, while pods run on nodes.
- VMs are used to run Kubernetes clusters but are not directly related to pods.
2. Where do the resources used to build Google Kubernetes Engine clusters come from?
- Compute Engine ✅
- App Engine
- Bare-metal servers
- Cloud Storage
Explanation:
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) runs Kubernetes clusters on Compute Engine virtual machines (VMs). Each cluster consists of nodes (VM instances) that are provisioned from Compute Engine.
- App Engine is for serverless applications and does not run Kubernetes.
- Bare-metal servers are not used in GKE; Google Cloud provides managed infrastructure.
- Cloud Storage is an object storage service and is not used for Kubernetes clusters.
