Offers auto-scaling feature, good AI support assistance and ensures zero downtime
It is good for testing and training purposes.  In terms of integration with other Google Cloud services, I use specific patterns like event-driven architectures or middleware solutions such as Kafka for system integration In my experience, GKE is a good platform for managing microservices on the…

Easy to install with good support, but the deployment of applications could be simplified
We are resellers and not end-users. We sell this type of platform to our customers for data science and analytics If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution. If a customer is focused on application modernization or CI/CD, there are some…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is very easy. We can create our cluster using the command line, or using our console."
"The main advantage of GKE is that it is a managed service. This means that Google is responsible for managing the master node in the Kubernetes cluster system. As a result, we can focus on deploying applications to the slaves, while Google handles any updates and security patches. The fact that GKE is fully integrated into the Google ecosystem, including solutions such as BigQuery and VertexAI. This makes it easier for us to integrate these tools into our process. This integration ultimately speeds up our time to market and reduces the time and effort spent on managing infrastructure. The managed aspect of GKE allows us to simply deploy and utilize it without having to worry about the technicalities of infrastructure management."
"The logs are important for detecting problems in our clusters."
"We hardly have a breakdown. It's been very stable."
"The product has no downtime."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"The solution is more user-friendly than AWS or Azure. I can also easily scale out the service in the future when the number of customers grows. GKE is the leader of Kubernetes service and it can be easily updated. I love the tool's user interfaces."
"The product’s dashboard is very intuitive."
"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."
 

Cons

"The solution does not have a visual interface."
"An area in which Google Kubernetes Engine could improve is configuration."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten."
"There are some security issues, but it might just be because we are not up to speed yet as much as we should be and so we haven't found it in the documentation yet. That's why I don't want to confuse this. Still, it could be a little bit easier to understand and implement."
"t is not very stable."
"There is room for improvement in the cluster updates process. Specifically, when managing both non-production and production clusters, we need a sequential functionality."
"The user interface could be improved."
"One of the things I missed a bit is the visibility and availability of solutions. If I compare it to a different solution, it is a bit behind."
"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price. The product is competitively priced."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"It is competitive, and it is not expensive. It is almost competitive with AWS and the rest of the cloud solutions. We are spending around 3K USD per month. There are four projects that are currently running, and each one is incurring a cost of around 3K USD."
"We are planning to use external support, and hire a commercial partner for it."
"This is an open source solution, so there is no pricing or licensing."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. The tool costs around 3000 dollars per month. There are no additional costs apart from these."
"Pricing is a bit expensive compared to some other products, but it's acceptable."
"I would rate Kubernetes' pricing four out of five."
