# Learn and Explore GKE Autopilot with Kelsey Hightower (full video)

By [C2C Team](https://www.c2cglobal.com/articles/author/c2c-team) | May 7, 2021

Led by community members Guillaume Blaquiere ( @guillaume blaquiere ) and Antoine Castex ( @antoine.castex ) with special guest Kelsey Hightower, principal developer advocate at Google Cloud, this C2C Talks event focused on GKE autopilot. 

[Introduced in February 2021](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/introducing-gke-autopilot), Autopilot is the latest major feature on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). It offers a new way to use, consume, and deploy a Kubernetes cluster where the nodes, master, and pool, are fully managed by Google.

Some key moments from this discussion include:

- The difference between Kubernetes and Google Kubernetes Engine (04:05)
- Defining Autopilot and Google's vision for this new feature (6:35)
- How Autopilot stacks up against other container technologies (12:15)
- What makes a "cloud native" company (22:00)
- Getting started with Autopilot and pricing models (27:30)
- GKE Autopilot versus Borg (41:25)
- Web browsers and standardization at Google (49:40)
