Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

The setup requires a publicly accessible (External) and secure (HTTPS) Layer 7 load balancer that can perform URL-based routing to send different types of requests to different backends (Compute Engine for dynamic content, Cloud Storage for static content).

Global External Application Load Balancer is necessary for public access and global traffic distribution.

The URL Map is crucial for routing requests based on the URL path (e.g., /images/*) to a Cloud Storage backend bucket, a core feature of external Application Load Balancers.

A managed SSL certificate is the Google-recommended method to enable HTTPS securely and easily on the Load Balancer itself.

The pending Pods resource requests are too large to fit on a single node of the cluster. Too many Pods are already running in the cluster, and there are not enough resources left to schedule the pending Pod. is the right answer.

When you have a deployment with some pods in running and other pods in the pending state, more often than not it is a problem with resources on the nodes. Heres a sample output of this use case. We see that the problem is with insufficient CPU on the Kubernetes nodes so we have to either enable auto-scaling or manually scale up the nodes.

Granting more permissions than necessary violates the principle of least privilege, a fundamental security best practice. While option A grants the necessary permissions (as subsets exist in two predefined roles), it might also grant more permissions than the Operations team strictly requires for their tasks on GKE and Cloud SQL. Option D is too broad; 'Admin' roles grant extensive permissions that likely exceed the specific needs.

Google Cloud's best practices strongly recommend adhering to the principle of least privilege. Creating a custom role allows you to precisely define the set of permissions the Operations team needs for their specific tasks on the GKE cluster and the Cloud SQL instance, without granting any unnecessary permissions. This minimizes the potential blast radius in case of accidental or malicious actions.

DaemonSets attempt to adhere to a one-Pod-per-node model, either across the entire cluster or a subset of nodes. As you add nodes to a node pool, DaemonSets automatically add Pods to the new nodes as needed.

In GKE, DaemonSets manage groups of replicated Pods and adhere to a one-Pod-per-node model, either across the entire cluster or a subset of nodes. As you add nodes to a node pool, DaemonSets automatically add Pods to the new nodes as needed. So, this is a perfect fit for our monitoring pod.

DaemonSets are useful for deploying ongoing background tasks that you need to run on all or certain nodes, and which do not require user intervention. Examples of such tasks include storage daemons like ceph, log collection daemons like fluentd, and node monitoring daemons like collectd. For example, you could have DaemonSets for each type of daemon run on all of your nodes. Alternatively, you could run multiple DaemonSets for a single type of daemon, but have them use different configurations for different hardware types and resource needs.

This command correctly specifies the duration that the signed url should be valid for by using the -d flag. The default is 1 hour so omitting the -d flag would have also resulted in the same outcome. Times may be specified with no suffix (default hours), or with s = seconds, m = minutes, h = hours, d = days. The max duration allowed is 7d.
