Kubernetes Clusters on Google Kubernetes Engine

In this chapter, we will launch a Kubernetes cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), the first of the three public cloud providers we will cover over the next few chapters.

By the end of this chapter, you will have signed up for the Google Cloud Platform, launched a Kubernetes workload using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and gained an understanding of GKE’s features.

We will be covering the following topics in this chapter:

  • What are Google Cloud Platform and Google Kubernetes Engine?
  • Preparing your local environment
  • Launching your first Google Kubernetes Engine cluster
  • Deploying a workload and interacting with your cluster
  • More about cluster nodes
