+# Deployment using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
+
+Why GKE? This is to maintain a cloud-agnostic Kubernetes solution 
+which can be easily migrated to other services if needed.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+0. Install `gcloud` CLI [(guide)](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install) and
+`kompose` CLI for converting `docker-compose.yml` to Kubernetes manifests
+[(guide)](https://kompose.io/installation/).
+
+Once installed, verify that these binaries are available:
+
+```
+kompose --version
+gcloud --version
+```
+
+1. Authenticate GCP environment.
+
+```bash
+gcloud auth login
+gcloud config set project _PROJECT_ID_
+```
+
+## Kubernetes configuration
+
+The infrastructure consists of two nodes, as follows:
+- Backend: n1-standard-32
+- Frontend: n1-standard-16
+- other components...
+
+Refer to the Makefile for GKE deployment commands. This is specifically placed
+in this folder to avoid confusion with the instructions in the root directory,
+which creates a local deployment.
+
+```bash
+make convert
+make gke-up
+make gke-down
+make status
+```
