GKE Multi-Cloud documentation
With GKE Multi-Cloud, you can create Kubernetes clusters in both AWS and Azure
cloud environments.
GKE clusters integrate with cloud provider specific resources such as load balancers and
persistent storage.
With a single-cloud platform design, you are forced into using highly-integrated
cloud-specific tools. This creates one silo for each cloud environment. With
GKE clusters, you can deploy workloads to multiple clouds with a unified management,
signaling, and configuration control plane.
You can manage your Kubernetes clusters on AWS and Azure from the Google Cloud console. With Connect
gateway
, you can connect to your clusters in any cloud with your Google Cloud identity for
authentication.
From this page, you can view documentation for GKE on AWS, GKE on Azure, and
the GKE Multi-Cloud API. For more information about other GKE cluster
environments, see GKE cluster
options
