Summary

In this chapter, we built a multi-tier cloud architecture using VMs powered by Google Cloud Compute Engine with a fully operation GitFlow process and an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions.

In the next chapter, our fearless leader at Söze Enterprises will be throwing us into turmoil with some big new ideas, and we’ll have to respond to his call to action. It turns out our CEO, Keyser, has been up late watching some YouTube videos about the next big thing – containers – and after talking with his pal Sundar on his superyacht, he has decided that we need to refactor our whole solution so that it can run on Docker and Kubernetes. Luckily, the good people at Google have a service that might help us out: Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
