GCP
Speedscale is compatible with Google Cloud Platform editions of Kubernetes.
Operator Support
The Speedscale operator is compatible with GCP GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) Autopilot and Standard, versions v1.16 and newer.
GKE Autopilot
Autopilot is an operational mode for GKE in which the entire cluster configuration, nodes, scaling, etc. are all managed by Google. It applies strict security policies — most notably, it does not allow pods with privileged containers — which changes how Speedscale captures traffic.
Speedscale supports two capture paths on Autopilot: eBPF (via a customer-owned WorkloadAllowlist) and a sidecar in dual proxy mode (transparent proxy is not supported). Both, along with the required Autopilot Helm values and per-workload annotations, are documented on the single dedicated page:
