Overall Satisfaction with Google Kubernetes Engine

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.
  • Automated orchestration, deployment, and scaling of containers
  • Integrated Logging
  • Persistent storage configuration and options.
  • Routes and external DNS integration
  • It's not necessary to buy licenses like other Kubernetes based products.
  • It's not required to buy blades, hosts, and virtualization.
  • Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
Google Kubernetes Engine has better upgrades and auto-scale management. Google Kubernetes Engine is also the cheapest option for managed Kubernetes, and Google is the principal contributor to the Kubernetes project.
Google support is excellent and helpful, but the first answer is always so bureaucratic no matter how many logs, evidence, and information you sent.
