Best-in-market managed Kubernetes solution
- Deployment of a new GKE cluster is really fast in comparison to other cloud providers.
- GCP is ahead other vendors and always provide the most up to date Kubernetes version.
- GKE automation for master upgrade and the worker nodes pool works really well.
- Support of IPv6.
- Better GitOps.
- A "serverless" Kubernetes so we can install Google config connector will be really awesome.
- Container-native load balancers do not support internal TCP/UDP load balancers or network load balancers.

GKE - good if you are using other GCP services
- easy setup for users
- strong documentation
- integration with other GCP services
- errors from liveness probes can be ambiguous to resolve

Google Kubernetes Engine: Kubernetes clusters offer an easy-to-start experience and good integration with other Google Cloud services
- Engine upgrade rollout strategy - well documented and configurable
- Integration with other Google Cloud services like the Compute Engine, SaaS databases, and some cloud networking like Cloud Armor
- Graphical interface for a lot of operations - either for a quick peek/overview or actual work done by administrators and/or developers (via the Google Cloud Console, for example)
- It cannot reach true zero scale - they have a competing(?) product for that - Cloud Run Kubernetes clusters. It seems like the Google Kubernetes Engine may not be as flexible as some people need - in terms of costs and infrastructure.
- Some networking for the Google Kubernetes Engine is way too "hidden" from other similar services from Google Cloud - like network whitelisting (for the control plane), external IPs(s) are not a part of the VPC network overview, data storage.
- We had to make a hack for node-specific changes (max open file descriptors) because we put Elastic in our Google Kubernetes Engine clusters. These changes were made as hacks because there is still no official API/command approach to have such a form of control over the cluster's infrastructure.

Good decision with GKE
- Deployment method (single, zonal, regional).
- Lifecycle management (stable, regular, rapid).
- Integrated GCE services (loadbalancers).
- Multi-regional deployment (better reliability).
- GPU node availability.
- Integrated market place.

Easy for those already on the Google Cloud platform
- Simple setup for new users
- Easy integration with existing Google Cloud environments
- Cost effective
- Not as intuitive as it could be
- Documentation could be better, especially for people using other Google Cloud tools
- Not the preferred Kubernetes Engine for many apps
