I think it's that Google provides the master node as a service. That's a big benefit. Plus, it looks like the add some security tooling.

- polskibus 8y agoThe master node is on-prem? Does that mean that this requires that Google has permanent access to my intranet ?
- karangoeluw 8y agoYes and no. The connection is needed to show your workloads and other cluster information in GCP Console (similar to what was shown in the keynote). However, if the connection goes down, your cluster will not stop working.
- chumboslice 8y agoGoogle K8s specialist here. The entire cluster is on-prem. At the moment, you can optionally leverage a secured tether to manage your cluster in GCP with the same management features you've come to expect with GKE proper. If the connection is lost, your cluster is still fully functional, so no there is no requirement for permanent access to your intranet. The access, when it exists, is also secured to only permit specific access between Google's network and your cluster.
- polskibus 8y agoThanks, and what are the conditions on keeping my on-prem GKE up-to-date so it doesn't lose compatibility with Google Cloud?
