Prerequisites

Google Cloud Platform

This tutorial leverages the Google Cloud Platform to streamline provisioning of the compute infrastructure required to bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster from the ground up. Sign up for $300 in free credits.

Estimated cost to run this tutorial: $0.22 per hour ($5.39 per day).

The compute resources required for this tutorial exceed the Google Cloud Platform free tier.

Google Cloud Platform SDK

Install the Google Cloud SDK

Follow the Google Cloud SDK documentation to install and configure the gcloud command line utility.

Verify the Google Cloud SDK version is 169.0.0 or higher:

gcloud version

Set a Default Compute Region and Zone

This tutorial assumes a default compute region and zone have been configured.

Set a default compute region:

gcloud config set compute/region us-west1

Set a default compute zone:

gcloud config set compute/zone us-west1-c

Use the gcloud compute zones list command to view additional regions and zones.
