Compute Engine, GKE, and Cloud Run
GCP's three compute tiers -- unmanaged VMs on Compute Engine, fully managed Kubernetes on GKE, and fully serverless containers on Cloud Run -- and how to decide which one a given workload belongs on.
Learning objectives
- Provision and configure a Compute Engine VM including machine types and persistent disks
- Explain what makes GKE a managed Kubernetes offering and what GKE Autopilot automates away
- Deploy a containerized service to Cloud Run and explain its scale-to-zero billing model
- Choose correctly between Compute Engine, GKE, and Cloud Run for a given workload's requirements
