Google Kubernetes Engine#

DescriptionInstall

K0rdent seamlessly integrates with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), enabling efficient management of GKE clusters alongside other environments through a centralized control plane. Here’s how k0rdent works with GKE:

GKE Cluster Integration: Connect and manage existing or newly created GKE clusters using k0rdent, with support for importing clusters and applying consistent management policies.
Declarative Configuration: Define GKE cluster configurations—such as regions, node pools, autoscaling, and Kubernetes versions—through infrastructure-as-code workflows.
Multi-Cluster Visibility: Monitor and control GKE clusters from the k0rdent platform alongside clusters from AWS, Azure, on-prem, or other clouds.
Enhanced Governance and Scaling: Apply policies, automate upgrades, and scale workloads across GKE clusters using k0rdent’s governance and automation features.
Secure Access and IAM: Leverage Google Cloud IAM and GKE’s built-in security features while applying k0rdent’s role-based access control (RBAC) and policy enforcement across environments.

# k0rdent v1.2.0 includes the template for Google Kubernetes Engine out of the box

Verify cluster template#

kubectl get clustertemplate -n kcm-system
# NAME                VALID
# gcp-gke-1-0-4       true
