Containers at Google Cloud

A better way to develop and deploy applications.

Everything at Google runs in containers

Google has been using containers since the early 2000s—from Gmail to YouTube and Search, everything at Google operates in containers.

Since creating and open sourcing Kubernetes, an open source system to deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications anywhere, Google is committed to providing the easiest and safest way to manage Kubernetes.
