In this chapter, we discussed Google Cloud Platform. Its basic concept is similar to AWS, but some policies and concepts are different. This is particularly the case for Google Container Engine, as this is a very powerful service for using Kubernetes as production grade. Kubernetes cluster and node management is quite easy to install and upgrade. The cloud provider is also fully integrated with GCP (especially ingress, as this can configure the L7 LoadBalancer with one command). Consequently, it's highly recommended you try GKE if you plan to use Kubernetes on the public cloud.

Chapter 12, Kubernetes on Azure, will explore one more public cloud service named Microsoft Azure, which also provides a managed Kubernetes service.
