Managing clusters

This page describes how to manage your GKE on-prem clusters.

Before you begin

1. SSH into your admin workstation:

   ssh -i ~/.ssh/vsphere_workstation ubuntu@[IP_ADDRESS]
   

2. Log in to Google Cloud using your account credentials:

   gcloud auth login

3. Set a default project. Setting a default Google Cloud causes all gcloud CLI commands to run against the project, so that you don't need to specify your project for each command:

   gcloud config set project [PROJECT_ID]
   

   Replace [PROJECT_ID] with your project ID. (You can find your project ID in Google Cloud console, or by running gcloud config get-value project.)

Viewing your clusters

kubectl get clusters --kubeconfig [ADMIN_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG]

Connecting to your clusters

If you want to connect to your clusters, you have two options:

• You can SSH into cluster nodes.
• If you registered your clusters with Google Cloud, you can log in to clusters from Google Cloud console.

Checking cluster version

kubectl get cluster --kubeconfig [USER_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG] -o yaml | grep bundle.gke.io/version

kubectl get pod -l api=clusterapi --kubeconfig [ADMIN_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG] -o yaml -n kube-system | grep image:.*controller-manager
