Managed Kubernetes service on Google Cloud with Autopilot mode
Updated
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is a fully managed Kubernetes service from Google Cloud that runs containerized workloads with the full Kubernetes API, 4-way autoscaling, release channels and multi-cluster support. Its Autopilot mode runs containers with little Kubernetes operational expertise required.
GKE is used by platform engineering, DevOps and SRE teams running containerized applications at scale on Google Cloud, from startups moving to Kubernetes to enterprises running production workloads and AI infrastructure.
GKE charges a flat cluster management fee of $0.10 per cluster per hour, plus the cost of the compute resources used, according to Google's pricing page. A free tier provides monthly credits that apply to zonal and Autopilot clusters.
Alternatives to GKE include Amazon EKS, Azure Kubernetes Service, Red Hat OpenShift and DigitalOcean Kubernetes. EKS and AKS are the hyperscaler equivalents, OpenShift is an enterprise Kubernetes platform, and DigitalOcean targets simpler small deployments.
