Migrating to GKE Containers from Coursera

This is a self-paced lab that takes place in the Google Cloud console. This lab teaches you how to migrate a stateless application from running on a VM to running on Kubernetes Engine (GKE). You will learn about the lifecycle of an application transitioning from a typical VM/OS-based deployment to three different containerized cloud infrastructure platforms.

Good to know
