Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) provides a managed Kubernetes environment on Google Cloud. In this hands-on class, I created a GKE Standard cluster, explored its nodes and underlying Compute Engine VMs, deployed an NGINX Pod, created a ReplicationController, tested self-healing, and finally simulated node removal.
