Explanation
GKE has a built-in Cluster Notifications feature that publishes structured events - including upgrade availability, security bulletins, and maintenance windows - directly to a Pub/Sub topic. This is a fully managed, push-based integration that requires minimal configuration and works programmatically within the Google Cloud ecosystem. Option B (scheduled BigQuery query) is indirect and requires setting up a dataset sync, a scheduled query job, and alerting - significantly more effort. Option C (querying the GKE API) is a manual, pull-based approach with no notification capability. Option D (RSS subscription) is a manual, human-readable feed not suitable for automated workflows or integration with GCP tooling such as alerting or ticketing systems.
