GKE spins up new nodes a LOT faster than AKS. GKE's auto scaler runs a lot smoother than AKS. GKE has a lot more Kubernetes features baked in natively.

Do you think Google Kubernetes Engine delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Google Kubernetes Engine's feature set?

Yes

Did Google Kubernetes Engine live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Google Kubernetes Engine go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google Kubernetes Engine again?

Yes

GKE compared to Azure is a lot easier to quickly bootstrap a project for demo purposes. GKE has much better integration with the Kubernetes open-source project and GKE is the first provider to adopt the newest features and it looks like many of the features on the Kubernetes are well suited for GCP purposes.
