ACE Practice Question: You have pushed a new container image to Artifact…
This ACE practice question tests your understanding of you have pushed a new container image to artifact…. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
You have pushed a new container image to Artifact Registry. The image is tagged `us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/my-project/my-repo/app:v2.0`. You need to deploy this specific image version to Cloud Run in production. Which command deploys this exact image?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Best answer
`gcloud run deploy app --image us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/my-project/my-repo/app:v2.0 --region us-central1`
This command deploys the exact image version specified by the full Artifact Registry path and tag. --region specifies the Cloud Run deployment region.
B
Distractor review
`docker push us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/my-project/my-repo/app:v2.0` followed by a Cloud Run auto-deploy.
Pushing an image to Artifact Registry does not automatically trigger a Cloud Run deployment. Continuous deployment requires explicit configuration via Cloud Build triggers.
C
Distractor review
`gcloud run services update app --tag v2.0 --region us-central1`
`gcloud run services update` with `--tag` assigns a traffic tag (like a named URL) to a revision, not a container image tag. This is not how you deploy a new image version.
D
Distractor review
`gcloud run deploy app --image app:v2.0 --region us-central1`
This uses a short image name without the full registry path. Cloud Run requires the full Artifact Registry or Container Registry path for image resolution.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.

FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this ACE question test?
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: `gcloud run deploy app --image us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/my-project/my-repo/app:v2.0 --region us-central1` — `gcloud run deploy` with `--image` specifies the exact container image to deploy. Using the full Artifact Registry image path with the specific tag (`v2.0`) ensures the exact image version is deployed. In production, using digest-pinned references (`@sha256:...`) is more secure than tags (which can be overwritten), but tags are commonly used in practice.
What should I do if I get this ACE question wrong?
Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related ACE NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.
