Follow the request/data flow through the architecture.
Work through each concept and mark it understood. This unlocks the knowledge check.
Managed Kubernetes. Standard (you manage nodes) or Autopilot (Google does).
Why it matters
Run portable container workloads with Google operating the control plane.
When to use it
Use Autopilot to skip node ops; Standard for fine-grained control/GPUs.
Gotcha (exam trap)
Kubernetes is powerful but heavy — for a single container, Cloud Run is far simpler and cheaper.
A realistic main.tf for this mission. Read it top to bottom — it mirrors the concepts above.

# Realistic starter — adapt names, regions and CIDRs to your environment.

# Autopilot cluster: Google manages the nodes for you.
