Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is a managed, production-ready environment for deploying containerized applications. It is based on Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration system.

GKE provides a number of features that make it a good choice for deploying containerized applications, including:

  • Managed Kubernetes: GKE manages the control plane for your Kubernetes cluster, so you don’t have to. This frees you up to focus on developing and deploying your applications.
  • Autoscaling: GKE can automatically scale your Kubernetes cluster up or down based on demand. This helps you to optimize your costs and ensure that your applications are always running at the right capacity.
  • High availability: GKE automatically distributes your Kubernetes cluster across multiple zones, so your applications are always available even if one zone fails.
  • Security: GKE provides a number of security features, including role-based access control (RBAC), network policies, and encryption. This helps you to secure your Kubernetes cluster and protect your applications.
