This page provides a set of recommendations for planning, architecting, deploying, scaling, and operating large workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters. We recommend you follow these recommendations to keep your scaling workloads within
service-level objectives (SLOs).
Available recommendations for scalabilityBefore planning and designing a GKE architecture, map parameters specific to your workload (for example the number of active users, expected response time, required compute resources) with the resources used by Kubernetes (such as Pods, Services, and 'CustomResourceDefinition'). With this information mapped, review the GKE scalability recommendations.
The scalability recommendations are divided based in the following planning scopes:
These scalability recommendations are general to GKE and are applicable to both GKE Standard and GKE Autopilot modes. GKE Autopilot provisions and manages the cluster's underlying infrastructure for you, therefore some recommendations are not applicable.
Caution: Test your planned cluster configuration before its implementation. Some design decisions might include fixed parameters, for example, CIDRs definition. Changing these parameters on existing clusters is not available and it requires cluster recreation.
