Google Kubernetes Engine

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is a fully managed Kubernetes service offered by Google Cloud, designed to simplify the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. With GKE, developers can leverage the power of Kubernetes without the operational overhead of managing infrastructure, allowing them to focus on building and deploying applications quickly and efficiently. GKE provides seamless integration with other Google Cloud services, enabling developers to take advantage of advanced features such as auto-scaling, logging, monitoring, and security.

DevSecOps teams prefer using Pomerium's Ingress Controller for securing Kubernetes workloads. This is compared to the alternative methods requiring per-app secrets, inconsistent permissions, and management burdens managing authentication/authorization flows.

Teams want to minimize the risk of misconfigurations by using the Pomerium for centralized authentication and authorization enforcement.

This is in addition to the baseline benefits that Pomerium brings to any deployment:

• Better with clientless access

• Faster by being deployed at edge

• Safer through continuous verification

• Context-aware when integrating institutionally relevant data sources
