    DO Kubernetes is well-suited for: - deploying APIs - deploying workers - log collection and analysis (ie ELK stack) - deploying Helm charts and anything that can be mapped on to K8s concepts Less appropriate for anything requiring no public Internet access (ie VPC only). Less appropriate for anything requiring integration with the DO app platform via VPC, at the moment.

    As a Cloud Engineer while working on a migration project we used GCR and my experience of using it is actually good the reason behind this is: 1: GCR uses industry-standard encryption to protect your data.2: GCR offers data loss prevention features to help you prevent sensitive data from being leaked or exposed and last but not the least is GCR provides audit logging so you can track who has accessed your data and when, because of these reasons its my go to tool.

    • The one area which i think GCR lacks is that it currently supports a limited number of file types
    • The major flaw a felt while working on it is it does not have feature of object versioning and object locking

    DigitalOcean is the most affordable and straightforward of the hosted Kubernetes options we evaluated. All features that we require are supported without an excess of complication of extraneous features. Straightforward billing is also very important for us in comparison to the Big Three cloud hosts, which have very complicated billing practices. DigitalOcean also provides a platform with very little vendor lock-in.

    It is very easy to integrate GCR with other services and I integrated GCR with GKE and Cloud Build. 1: While working on one project I created one pipeline pulls the app's Docker image from GCR and builds the app's Docker image. Deployed that apps image in GKE. 2: Ive stored the data in GCR and that data was being used by cloud Run applications

    • As a DevOps Engineer , GCR has made a important contribution to my organisation because GCR can be used to store code and assets, which can help to reduce the development time for new projects.
    • Using GCR has bee­n a cost-effective solution for us since­ we only pay for the storage we­ actually utilise. This has resulted in significant savings on our cloud storage­ expenses.
    • We trust GCR be­cause they prioritise the­ security of our data by utilising industry-standard encryption. This assurance brings us pe­ace of mind, as we know our information is protecte­d.
