The major issue that Google Kubernetes Engine solves for us is that as a managed service, it makes maintenance of the cluster much easier - autoscaling and updating nodes, reliable, and cost-effective.
Using the cluster to keep the microservices for an application up and running - it is intended for workloads that can scale.

Two products I work on are using Google Kubernetes Engine clusters. For the most part, the development efforts mostly go as far as "put service in container," so stuff such as scalability is left to 3rd party components that we use. The Google Kubernetes Engine can use a specific Google-provided ingress controller that is very beneficial when it comes to integrating with other services/products such as Cloud Armor, but it's also vendor-specific, so it has its own quirks and learning curve. Thus, we use the Google Kubernetes Engine just like a regular managed Kubernetes cloud service. The products we have in the Google Kubernetes Engine cluster deal with data piping, collection, and even some machine learning. The major problem that the Google Kubernetes Engine solves for us is a completely managed cloud Kubernetes service - we have an easier time managing our clusters (updates, scaling, and uptime SLA), doing physical and virtual migrations (moving nodes geographically, data in volumes, etc.).

GKE provides a seamless installation method across a whole organization. It is a fair starting point with Kubernetes technologies. Managed Kubernetes allows deploying application test pipelines for software companies with a reasonable overall price. Moreover, the number of POP helps setup quite reliable installation in a regional way.

Google has made the setup of Google Kubernetes Engine easy in the Google Cloud, it comes somewhere in the middle of Iaas and Paas, the user interface is very intuitive, and you can manage your cluster directly through the web interface. It is an excellent tool with lesser management overhead with servers or Kubernetes installation, etc. At the same time gives you the flexibility to manage the cluster and related settings. You can scale up with a few clicks or set up automated scaling based on traffic and various parameters.

Google Kubernetes Engine is being used by our I.T. Department as part of its Cloud Infrastructure. At this time we have decided on Google Kubernetes Engine as our primary tool for Kubernetes and are running test/evaluation workloads with it. The idea is to drive down our cloud infrastructure costs by moving resources off general-purpose cloud environments.
