GKE Cluster

To create an GKE cluster refer to Google cloud documentation website - Creating a regional cluster. Although Google cloud manuals are always up-to-date, the recommended choice to make before creating the cluster is as follows:
  • Kubernetes version: 1.34
  • User nodepool:
    • appnodepool: Three nodes of type n2-standard-8 with Auto Scaling disabled
    • mongonodepool: Three nodes of type n2-standard-8 with Auto Scaling disabled. Add label mongo=true and taint designatedMongo=true:NoSchedule to the nodepool (to be performed while creating the cluster).
  • Select multi zones for the Nodepools
