gke-golden-path
Provides GKE golden path configuration defaults, production readiness checklists, and cluster default patterns. Use when designing GKE clusters, verifying GKE production readiness, or checking configurations against GKE defaults. Don't use for setting up workload autoscaling specifically (use gke-workload-scaling instead).

# GKE Golden Path Configuration
The golden path is the recommended Autopilot configuration for production
clusters. It defines sensible defaults — when the user requests different
settings, apply them and note relevant trade-offs. For setting up autoscaling
specifically, use `gke-cluster-autoscaler` for node autoscaling or
`gke-workload-scaling` for workload autoscaling (HPA/VPA).
