Question

You have a Python web application with many dependencies that requires 0.1 CPU cores and 128 MB of memory to operate in production. You want to monitor and maximize machine utilization. You also want to reliably deploy new versions of the application. Which set of steps should you take?

Accepted Answer

Perform the following: 
1. Create a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster with n1-standard-1 type machines. 
2. Build a Docker image from the production branch with all of the dependencies, and tag it with the version number. 
3. Create a Kubernetes Deployment with the imagePullPolicy set to 'IfNotPresent' in the staging namespace, and then promote it to the production namespace after testing.
