</table>` In this tutorial, we set out to create a GKE cluster, set up platform-wide services like CertManager, Istio, Grafana, Prometheus, etc., educate developers on how to get their service deployed, ensure everyone is following Kubernetes best practices, and glue the tool to deploy the server to the workload deployment tools (Helm or plain kubectl). To some degree, this walkthrough achieves all of these. The CDK for Terraform allows you to find abstractions over infrastructure that fit your team, which abstractions you choose depend on the company, the setup, and the familiarity of your developers with infrastructure. It's quite easy to change them and introduce new ones that work for you. Infrastructure automation should be run inside of a CI engine to control access and execution environment in one place.
