Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • easy setup for users
  • strong documentation
  • integration with other GCP services
  • errors from liveness probes can be ambiguous to resolve
Likelihood to Recommend
Google Kubernetes Engine is well suited for dynamic and large workloads since it can scale up with usage. It is easily configurable, which allows for flexibility.
User interface is simple to navigate, which reduces roadblocks for a team with people unfamiliar with Kubernetes.
Great if you are already using other GCP services as it integrates well with that.
Return on Investment

  • When issues came up, we reached out to some folks at GCP and they seemed to be very prompt and attentive to our needs. They were always willing to help and provide additional details or recommendations or links to resources. This kind of support is very helpful as it allows us to navigate GKE with more confidence.
