Question: What is Kubernetes Engine?
- Kubernetes Engine provides practically unlimited computing power using virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud.
- Kubernetes Engine is a solution meant to help organizations achieve zero ops.
- Kubernetes Engine is built on the closed-source Kubernetes system, making it easy to orchestrate container clusters or groups of containers.
- Kubernetes Engine is a managed environment for deploying containerized apps.
Explanation
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is Google Cloud’s managed Kubernetes service for running applications packaged in containers. It automates cluster operations such as provisioning, upgrades, repairs, and scaling support. Because it uses Kubernetes, it orchestrates groups of containers across a cluster. Its business value combines container portability with reduced operational overhead.
Why the other options are incorrect
Practically unlimited computing power using virtual machines describes Compute Engine, not Google Kubernetes Engine.
Zero ops is inaccurate because GKE still involves workload and cluster design decisions.
Closed-source Kubernetes system is incorrect because Kubernetes is open source.
