Base GKE Accelerated Platform

The base GKE Accelerated Platform provides a "core", foundational, opinionated, and streamlined setup for deploying accelerated workloads to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). It serves as a starting point for building and managing robust, scalable, and secure workloads on GKE, designed for rapid iteration and deployment.

Key Features

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Leverages Terraform to define and manage all infrastructure resources, ensuring consistency, repeatability, and version control.
  • Terraservices Design: Organized into modular components (Terraservices) with shared configuration for easier management, customization, and reuse.
  • Scalability and High Availability: Configured to support automatic scaling and high availability of your workloads.
  • Accelerator Ready: Simplifies the process of obtaining and utilizing accelerators for your workloads.
  • Observability: Easy integration with monitoring, logging, and tracing tools.
  • Security Best Practices: Implements security best practices out-of-the-box.
  • Extensible: Designed to be easily customized and extended to fit your specific requirements.
  • Rapid Development: Provides a reliable base, enabling quicker development and deployment of workloads.

For an outline of Google Cloud products and features used in the platform, see Platform Products and Features.

Getting Started

  1. Deploy the Core Platform: Get up and running quickly with the Reference Implementation for the Core GKE Accelerated Platform.
  2. Explore Use Cases: See how the platform can be applied to specific scenarios with our example use case implementations.
