You will deploy a containerized app using a Kubernetes manifest, want minimal infrastructure configuration while retaining control over the Kubernetes deployment. Where should you deploy?

GKE Autopilot is the correct choice because it provides a fully managed Kubernetes experience, significantly reducing operational overhead for infrastructure management while still allowing you to deploy applications using standard Kubernetes manifests. You retain control over your Kubernetes deployments (e.g., pods, services, ingresses) without managing nodes, clusters, or underlying infrastructure. Cloud Run is incorrect because it's a serverless platform for stateless containers, abstracting away Kubernetes entirely. While it offers minimal infrastructure configuration, it doesn't allow you to deploy using Kubernetes manifests directly or retain Kubernetes-level control. GKE Standard is incorrect because it requires manual management of nodes, node pools, and cluster upgrades, which is not "minimal infrastructure configuration." Cloud Functions is incorrect because it's a serverless compute platform for event-driven functions, not designed for deploying containerized applications via Kubernetes manifests.
