Google Cloud’s container-related services offer powerful tools for deploying, managing, and orchestrating containerized applications and workloads. These services are designed to simplify the development and operation of container-based applications. Here are some key components and services related to containers on Google Cloud:

1. Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE):

   • GKE is a managed Kubernetes service that simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications using Kubernetes. It provides a fully managed Kubernetes control plane and node management.

2. Google Cloud Container Registry:

   • Container Registry is a private container image registry that allows you to store, manage, and distribute Docker container images securely. It integrates seamlessly with GKE and other container-related services.

3. Google Cloud Run:

   • Cloud Run is a serverless container platform that enables you to deploy and manage containerized applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. It automatically scales based on incoming requests.

4. Anthos:

   • Anthos is a hybrid and multi-cloud platform that extends Kubernetes across on-premises environments and multiple cloud providers, including Google Cloud. It provides a consistent platform for managing containerized applications.

5. Cloud Build:

   • Cloud Build is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform that automates the building, testing, and deployment of containerized applications. It integrates with Container Registry and GKE.

6. Istio:

   • Istio is an open-source service mesh that helps you manage, secure, and monitor microservices within your containerized applications. Google Cloud provides tools for deploying and managing Istio on GKE.

7. Knative:

   • Knative is an open-source platform for building, deploying, and managing serverless workloads on Kubernetes. It simplifies the development of serverless applications using containers.

8. Container-Optimized OS:

   • Google Cloud offers Container-Optimized OS, a lightweight and secure operating system optimized for running containers on GCE (Google Compute Engine) instances.

9. Container Security:

   • Google Cloud provides container security features, including vulnerability scanning, binary authorization, and integration with security partners to protect containerized applications.

10. Cloud Monitoring and Logging:

    • Google Cloud offers monitoring and logging solutions, such as Stackdriver, to help you gain visibility into the performance and health of containerized applications.

11. Serverless Containers:

    • Google Cloud provides serverless container options like Cloud Run and Cloud Functions for deploying and running containerized applications without managing infrastructure.

12. Container Networking:

    • Google Cloud offers advanced container networking features, such as VPC-native clusters and support for Istio, to facilitate communication between containers and services.

13. Cloud Marketplace:

    • Google Cloud Marketplace provides a variety of pre-configured containerized applications and solutions that can be deployed on GKE or other Kubernetes clusters.
