Google Kubernetes Engine

GKE provides a managed Kubernetes platform backed by the experience that Google has of running containerized services for more than a decade. GKE clusters are production-ready and scalable, and they support upstream Kubernetes versions. In addition, GKE focuses on improving the development experience by eliminating the installation, management, and operation needs of Kubernetes clusters.

While GKE improves developer experience, it tries to minimize the cost of running Kubernetes clusters. It only charges for the nodes in the cluster and provides a Kubernetes control plane free of charge. In other words, GKE delivers a reliable, scalable, and robust Kubernetes control plane without any cost. For the servers that run the workload of your applications, the usual GCP Compute Engine pricing is applied. For instance, let's assume that you will start with two n1-standard-1 (vCPUs: 1, RAM: 3.75 GB) nodes:

The calculation would be as follows:
