title: What is the difference between Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Google Compute Engine (GCE) in term of server management?
body: <p>I believe that the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is running on Google Compute Engine (GCE). So, what is the real advantage of using Google Kubernetes Engine in terms of server management?</p>
  <p>I am referring to updates to the OS and security patches just like Google App Engine handles this for us. Does the SRE handle the update and security patches?</p>
  <p>I know that Google App Engine already does this for us (updating the OS etc.), but on GAE, we are not able to attach a persistent disk.</p>
  <p>My plan is to host a flat file CMS, which in this case, does not need for cloud SQL, cloud datastore, etc. Also, cloud memory store is way too expensive.</p>
