Creating a GKE cluster (demo)

In a previous video, we went over the differences between GKE Standard mode and GKE Autopilot mode clusters. In this episode of GKE Essentials, we explore what it’s like to create your first Google Kubernetes Engine cluster by creating one of each cluster. Watch to learn how the console is a great place to start when you want to learn what’s possible with GKE.

[@googlecloudtech]

Glad you think so!

[@hasirciogli]

We love Google

[@Sam_Body]

Thank you for video. Do you have any plans to make a video how to achieve the same but via terraform (Infrastructure as code) ?

[@kaslinfields9546]

That's a great idea, thank you for the suggestion! We're planning future videos now. I'll see what we can do here!

Would the billing for GKE Autopilot cluster vs the standard cluster with minimum configurations be the same?

[@scigama71]

what are the free options? i am very interested in learning k8 on gcp.

[@user-tu7yt6fn2z]

Very informative. I tried to create a GKE auto pilot cluster with a shared VPC private network through terraform, but stuck with this exception again and again, 'Error: Error waiting for creating GKE cluster: All cluster resources were brought up, but: only 0 nodes out of 1 have registered; cluster may be unhealthy.' Is there any suggestion to troubleshoot this error ?

[@KrishnaRac]

I am unable to create a Gke account as billing amount is deducting but its not getting enabled.

Does GKE Autopilot cluster come with Istio preinstalled if not is it possible to install open source Istio?

[@nicolas_gama]

You can enable it to be pre-installed or else you can install it on your own

[@AnshumanKumar007]

@@nicolas_gama I think Istio can no longer be enabled by a flag. But it's possible to be installed. Istio is pretty great, I am not really sure why Kubernetes didn't have the features like in Istio by default.
