How to create Kubernetes Cluster in GCP Cloud

Question

Hi Team,

I want to create a Kubernetes Cluster on top of GCP Cloud. So, I can perform all the Kubernetes concepts. Can anyone tell me how can I do that from the command line?

Hi@akhtar,

A cluster consists of at least one cluster control plane machine and multiple worker machines called nodes. Nodes are Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) instances that run the Kubernetes processes necessary to make them part of the cluster. You deploy applications to clusters, and the applications run on the nodes.

The following command creates a one-node cluster. Replace cluster-name with the name of your cluster.

$ gcloud container clusters create cluster-name --num-nodes=1
NAME        LOCATION    MASTER_VERSION   MASTER_IP      MACHINE_TYPE   NODE_VERSION     NUM_NODES  STATUS
newcluster  us-east1-b  xx.x.x-gke.401  xx.xx.xx.xx  n1-standard-1  xx.xxx.xx-gke.401  1          RUNNING
