Summary
The first chapter about GKE focused on the architecture, the main components, and how they work with each other. We learned about different types of GKE offerings in Google Cloud—GKE Standard and GKE Autopilot. Another important part of the chapter was about storage in GKE, which is very important to secure our data stored in Pods. An important lesson in this chapter was about the deployment of the two types of GKE clusters themselves and application deployment.
After learning which deployment types GKE and Kubernetes offer, we will learn how to view and manage GKE resources—clusters, node pools, Pods, and services in the next chapter.
