By spinning up a Kubernetes cluster in GKE, you get a few benefits you won't get from other providers. One such benefit is gVisor. GKE uses gVisor to create sandboxes for greater isolation between pods. Besides that, you also get the possibility of using a container-optimized OS, whereas other providers may only provide an Ubuntu image.
A more automatic approach is to use Loft. This tool will install into your cluster, monitor your resources, and automatically put idle namespaces to sleep. You can also set it up to auto-delete idle namespaces. If your workload fluctuates highly, for example, based on seasonal traffic, this can significantly reduce your cost.
