Google recently announced that their Google Kubernetes Engine 1.10 is now generally available and is also ready for enterprise use.
For a prolonged time, enterprises have faced challenges such as security, networking, logging, and monitoring. With the availability of Kubernetes Engine 1.10, Google has introduced new and exciting features that have a built-in robust security for enterprise use, which are:
One can deploy workloads in Google’s global Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in a Shared VPC model. This gives you the flexibility to manage access to shared network resources using IAM permissions while still isolating departments.
Shared VPC lets organization administrators assign administrative responsibilities, such as creating and managing instances and clusters, to service project admins while maintaining centralized control over network resources like subnets, routers, and firewalls.

This will make it easy to build highly available solutions. The Kubernetes Engine will provide support for the new Regional Persistent Disk (Regional PD). Regional PD enables a persistent network-attached block storage with synchronous replication of data between two zones within a region.
One does not have to worry about application-level replication and can take advantage of replication at the storage layer, with the help of Regional PDs. This kind of replication offers a convenient building block using which one can implement highly available solutions on Kubernetes Engine.
Regional clusters, which would be made available in some time soon, allow one to create a Kubernetes Engine cluster with a multi-master, highly-available control plane. This cluster would spread the masters across three zones in a region, which is an important feature for clusters with higher uptime requirements. Regional clusters also offer a zero-downtime upgrade experience when upgrading Kubernetes Engine masters.
The node auto-repair feature is now generally available. It monitors the health of the nodes in one’s cluster and repairs nodes that are unhealthy.
In Kubernetes Engine 1.10, Horizontal Pod Autoscaler supports three different custom metrics types in beta:
