Google Kubernetes Engines offers us the seamless experience of running Kubernetes; it also makes Kubernetes administration so easy. Depending on the expected peak time, we might want to scale the Kubernetes nodes out or in. Alternatively, we could use Autoscaler to do auto-scaling for the nodes. Kubernetes is an evolving platform. The release pace is fast. We might want to upgrade the cluster version from time to time, which is very easy to do.
