I had a project about this size on GKE, in an attempt to get a feel for Google hosted Kubernetes product. I went on vacation for two weeks while a container was printing an error (unbeknownst to me). Google wanted to charge me ~700 dollars for StackDriver logging volume (a feature I was not aware was connected to my Kube pod stdout). Google Cloud refused to refund or provide any guide as to how to entirely disable / purge StackDriver, so I'm back on AWS and won't be recommending anyone move to GKE any time soon (it's extremely extremely easy to suddenly more than 100x your bill...) With my hand-built Kube on AWS I have 15gb assigned for my ELK logging cluster, and it costs me nothing because it falls under the free tier. Looking forward to trying out Digital Ocean's product next!
