GKE-EDI

Google managed Kubernetes — pioneer of managed Kubernetes.

Definition

GKE Autopilot bills pods (CPU, RAM, ephemeral storage) without node management; ideal for spiky EDI workloads. GKE Standard provides more control (GPUs, custom sidecars). Native integration with Google Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, BigQuery for EDI data pipelines.

Origin

Launched by Google to GA in August 2015. Kubernetes (1.0) itself was open-sourced by Google in 2014.

Example in context
