Setup Kubernetes Cluster in GCP

In this blog, we will explore Google Kubernetes Engine. We will setup a Kubernetes Cluster using Google Kubernetes Engine(GKE) Service which is provided by Google.

With GKE, we don’t need to build a cluster from scratch. Instead, clusters can be launched and turned down on demand.

Check out my GCP For beginners tutorial if you are not familiar with GCP.

Introduction

We can create Kubernetes Engine cluster using GCP console or using gcloud CLI.

CLI is a more flexible way to make the operation repeatable or to integrate it with your existing pipeline.
