Question

Your team is developing a web application that will be deployed on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Your CTO expects a successful launch and you need to ensure your application can handle the expected load of tens of thousands of users. You want to test the current deployment to ensure the latency of your application stays below a certain threshold. What should you do?

  • AUse a load testing tool to simulate the expected number of concurrent users and total requests to
  • BEnable autoscaling on the GKE cluster and enable horizontal pod autoscaling on your application
  • CReplicate the application over multiple GKE clusters in every Google Cloud region. Configure a

Explanation

The question focuses more on the current infra and ensuring if the current setup will ensure a latency target. An only a load test can do that. Autoscaling is no need of the hour and may require in the future and that totally depends on the test results. It might be an overkill to have everything in advance even App is fine with current configs.
