Kong has introduced a new, streamlined way to explore its capabilities on Kubernetes through the Kong Kubernetes App available on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Marketplace, allowing for quick deployment on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or any Kubernetes cluster. This integration leverages GCP's free tier credits for newcomers, simplifying the process with a few easy steps: setting up a GCP account, deploying a Kubernetes cluster with a single click or command, and installing Kong with minimal effort. A video tutorial is available to guide users through the entire process, including the teardown of the cluster to conserve GCP credits. For those interested in alternative methods, Kong's install page offers various deployment options, including Helm charts and Minikube. Users are encouraged to engage with the community on Kong Nation for support or to contribute improvements via Pull Requests on the project's documentation repositories.
