Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that enables users to package applications and their dependencies into containers, making workloads portable. It helps manage complex workloads involving multiple containers by orchestrating them according to policies defined by the user. Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) simplifies the operational overhead of managing Kubernetes by hosting and managing it for the user, providing scalability and uptime guarantees. GKE also enables users to run a wide variety of applications and services, including persistent storage and databases, with high availability. The Google Cloud Platform Marketplace features numerous applications and components that can be easily deployed on GKE, making application deployment easy. Additionally, Neo4j is a highly scalable, native graph database that stores and manages data relationships as first-class entities, enabling users to query their data and discover connections and relationships among data much faster than traditional databases. By combining GKE with Neo4j, developers can solve connected data problems with high performance and flexibility.
