GKE Basics
Managed Kubernetes platform on Google Cloud. Defaults to Autopilot mode.
Quick Start
gcloud services enable container.googleapis.com --quiet
gcloud container clusters create-auto my-cluster --region=us-central1 --quiet
gcloud container clusters get-credentials my-cluster --region=us-central1 --quiet

Conceptual & Informational Queries (CRITICAL)
For purely conceptual, educational, or informational questions (e.g. "What is GKE?", "Explain GKE architecture", or "Compare Standard vs Autopilot" in a generic sense):
- Rule: Answer immediately using your pre-trained knowledge.
- Constraint: Do not execute code searches, directory listings, or other tool calls unless the user explicitly requests you to inspect the local workspace or run a command. Keep it fast, cheap, and direct.
