SPEAKER 1: (SINGING) Your birthday, boy.
PRIYANKA VERGADIA: Google Kubernetes Engine turns five!
Yeah!
Happy birthday, GKE.
What is GKE?
It is the first cloud-based managed Kubernetes service.
And as we celebrate GKE's fifth birthday,
let's take a little journey through the five things
that we all love so much about it.
First off, GKE is easy to use.
We all know that Kubernetes is the de facto standard
for container orchestration.
But we also know that it can get complex to operate and manage.
That's where GKE comes in.
It takes away the complexity out of Kubernetes,
by providing a robust command line interface and easy
to use UI to manage all your containers in one place.
It manages DNS, networking, traffic management,
and load balancing, amongst other things.
And it works across a lot of simple and complex use cases,
including Linux, Windows, stateful, stateless,
existing or new apps and single or multi tier cluster apps.
Second is trust.
Once you develop and deploy the app,
you have complete control to manage that GKE environment.
You get the choice to automatically
upgrade and repair them if something goes wrong,
without worrying about availability, because Google
site reliability engineers constantly monitor
your cluster and its computing, networking,
and storage resources.
With release channels, you get the freedom
to choose the Kubernetes version of your choice.
You can choose the cutting-edge latest release
version in the Rapid channel, or choose the most tested version
in the Stable channel.
Or be in between in the Regular channel.
Next is best price to performance.
When you use GKE, you get the best value for your money
because it does offer the lowest cost to performance ratio
for running the containerized applications.
It offers four-way industry's first auto-scaling
to optimize resources when you scale up and down
your apps based on your needs.
For advanced apps, you can use application accelerators,
like GPUs and TPUs on GKE.
And it helps kickstart your hybrid and multi-cloud journey.
Next, and very important, is BeyondProd,
the cloud-native security approach.
With strong security defaults, GKE offers cluster security
beyond platform hardening and OS patching.
The clusters in GKE natively support Kubernetes network
policy to restrict traffic with pod level firewall rules.
You can verify, enforce and improve
the security of infrastructure components and packages used
for your container images.
With the sandbox feature, you get a second layer
of defense between containerized workloads
on GKE for enhanced workload security.
You also get built-in support for a wide range
of compliance standards.
In short, you get BeyondProd security,
Google's cloud-native security approach for your workloads.
And we are on number five.
What's needed to navigate change?
The only constant in our lives, scale.
Whether you want to simplify your infrastructure management,
have batch processing needs, or simply looking
to run internet scale apps and absorb large spikes in traffic,
with GKE, you are in luck.
Because starting with 1.18, GKE provides
the most supported nodes of any cloud-based Kubernetes service.
And three times the number of nodes
supported by open source Kubernetes.
How's that for five in five?
