Create a Kubernetes Cluster on Google Compute Engine (GCE)

Learn how to create a Kubernetes cluster on GCE in three clicks, using NetApp Kubernetes Service (NKS).

To create a Google Compute Engine (GCE) cluster, you will need:

• A set of GCE credentials. Find Your GKE Credentials.

• An NKS account. If you don’t have one already, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial with no credit card required at https://nks.netapp.io.

For more details, see our Requirements page.

Step 1: Add Cluster

Log in to NetApp Kubernetes Service (NKS) and click + ADD CLUSTER.

Click the GCE tile to select GCE as a provider.

Step 2: Provider Configuration

In this step, you will set your provider configurations. Here you can update any of the following if you wish:

• Number and size of master and worker nodes.

• Region.

• NKS workspace.

• GCE credentials.

• SSH keypair.

If everything looks good, scroll down and click Submit.

Step 3: Cluster Configuration

On the third and final step, you can make any desired changes to your cluster configuration:

• Update the cluster name.

• Change the Kubernetes version.

• Change the OS distribution.

• Add Solutions to the cluster from our solutions gallery, trusted charts, or add your own Helm chart repo.

When your cluster configurations are ready, click Submit. Your cluster will begin building, and will be ready for use within minutes.
