# Google Cloud Provider (GCP)

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

[Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/kubernetes-engine-overview) is a GCP service for deploying, managing, and scaling distributed and containerised workloads. With GKE, you can easily provision a cluster on GCP using [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/intro/index.html)**,** which automates the process. The DIGIT services configuration will be deployed using [Helm](https://helm.sh/docs/).
