Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Samples repository is a comprehensive collection of sample applications and reference implementations designed to demonstrate how to build, deploy, and manage workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). It serves as a practical companion to official GKE tutorials, providing real, runnable code that illustrates how containerized applications are packaged, deployed, and scaled within Kubernetes clusters. The repository is organized into multiple categories such as AI and machine learning, autoscaling, networking, observability, security, and cost optimization, allowing developers to explore specific use cases and architectural patterns. It includes both simple quickstart examples, like basic “hello world” applications, and more advanced scenarios such as migrating monolithic applications to microservices, implementing service meshes, and configuring custom autoscaling metrics.
