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​

Because GKE Autopilot is configured with strict security policies, it is not possible to run privileged containers. The sidecar container can capture traffic in multiple modes:

  • Transparent Proxy - this requires a privileged container
  • Dual Proxy - this does not require privileges, but you must reconfigure your port
  • Istio - this requires a privileged container (for the istio sidecar)

Because of the security restrictions for Autopilot, you must configure the proxy mode mode for the sidecar to capture traffic.
