Google Distributed Cloud software is based on\n Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), with its own Kubernetes package that extends\n GKE for use in an on-premises environment. With\n Google Distributed Cloud you can create, manage, and upgrade\n GKE clusters on your own premises while using Google Cloud\n features, and deploy and operate containerized applications on your clusters at\n scale using Google's infrastructure. Google Distributed Cloud software can be\n installed on either VMware or bare metal.](/distributed-cloud/docs/overview#gdcv)"]]
