Summary
Having read this chapter, you should now be familiar with the concept of containers and how they compare to VMs. You will have some clarity concerning how Kubernetes can be used to orchestrate containers in general and the use of GKE to deploy containers within GCP. We have also examined some of the features available in GKE, such as load balancing and autoscaling. And finally, we have seen how Google App Engine and Cloud Functions can be used to manage your apps and how they compare with GKE.
