gke-app-onboarding

You can deploy an application to GKE by containerizing it with Docker, generating Kubernetes manifests for deployment configuration, and executing the rollout using kubectl commands while verifying the deployment status.

GKE application onboarding involves containerizing the app using Docker or Cloud Native Buildpacks, managing container images with vulnerability scanning, generating Kubernetes manifests, and executing the automated deployment to the cluster.

Yes, deploying to GKE requires both gcloud for accessing Google Cloud services and Docker for building and managing container images locally before pushing them to the registry and executing the deployment.

Yes, GKE containerization workflows support Cloud Native Buildpacks as an alternative to Dockerfiles, enabling you to build optimized container images directly from application source code for Kubernetes deployment.

Generating Kubernetes manifests for a containerized application involves defining the deployment and service configuration YAML specifications required to run the container image on GKE, which can then be applied using kubectl commands.

You can scan container images for vulnerabilities during the image management phase of GKE onboarding, which involves building and storing the images securely before generating Kubernetes manifests and executing the deployment.
