Getting Started with Google Kubernetes Engine FAQs

GKE is a managed, production-ready environment for deploying containerized applications. It provides the tools needed to orchestrate and manage clusters of virtual machines, where your containers are deployed.

This training is designed for IT professionals, developers, DevOps engineers, and anyone interested in learning how to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes on Google Cloud.

Basic knowledge of cloud computing concepts, containerization (especially Docker), and familiarity with command-line interfaces is recommended. Prior experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is helpful but not required.
