Creating a Cluster

My cluster is deployed on Google Container Engine, however, any Kubernetes cluster would do.

Create and Setup a Cloud Platform Project

1. Install the Google Cloud Platform SDK.

2. Create a project in the Google Cloud Platform console.

3. Authenticate the Google Cloud Platform SDK:

   $ gcloud auth login
   

4. Set the id of your new project:

   $ gcloud config set project <PROJECT>
   

5. Set the zone you want the app to run in:

   $ gcloud config set compute/zone asia-east1-b
   

6. Create a Container Engine Cluster. You may need to specify other options, such as the size of the cluster, VM type etc.

   $ gcloud container clusters create homepage-cluster
