Google Kubernetes Engine

Google Kubernetes Engine is a powerful cluster manager and orchestration system for running your Docker containers. Set up a cluster in minutes.

Kubernetes is Kubernetes—what difference does it make which cloud provider you choose? Well, quite a lot, actually. While GKE, EKS, AKS, and DOKS all conform to CNCF Kubernetes Certification standards and are each valid choices, they each have their unique advantages and disadvantages, ranging from pricing to upgrades, to node repair.

Google Anthos

Anthos is an open application platform that can help you accelerate app development, and enables consistency across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

When using GKE, you pay an administration fee of $0.10 per hour per cluster, and otherwise, you only pay for the underlying resources. However, this administration fee can be waived by running GKE on-prem, with the help of Anthos.
