Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Pros and Cons

What I like best about Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is its seamless scalability and reliability. GKE makes it incredibly easy to scale our containerized applications, whether we need to handle increased traffic or optimize resource usage during quieter periods. This scalability is crucial for our dynamic workloads, and GKE's automatic scaling features, combined with Google's robust infrastructure, ensure that our applications remain highly available and responsive.
