Toward better node management with Kubernetes and Google Container Engine By Maisem Ali, Software Engineer Using our Google Container Engine managed service is a great way to run a Kubernetes cluster with a minimum of management overhead. Now, we�re making it even easier to manage Kubernetes clusters running in Container Engine, with significant improvements to upgrading and maintaining your nodes.
