gcloud
Documentation for the google cloud command.
Bind new project to account
$ gloud config set project <project_name>
Upload a docker container
$ gcloud docker push gcr.io/<project_id>/hello-node:v1
List configuration
$ gcloud config list
Set availability zone
Just like AWS, gcloud has different availability zones:
$ gcloud config set compute/zone us-central1-b
To view which availability zones are available:
$ gcloud compute zones list
Create a new container cluster
Create a new cluster of machines. Use the -m flag to specify a machine type,
e.g. -m f1-micro. Clusters are created in the current compute zone.
$ gcloud container clusters create <cluster_name>
$ gcloud container clusters create <cluster_name> -m <machine_type>
List running container clusters
$ gcloud container clusters list
Tear down a container cluster
$ gcloud container clusters delete <cluster_name>
Get cluster credentials
After creating a cluster using whichever method you prefer (gcloud, ui,
terraform), the credentials must be loaded into kubectl:
$ gcloud container clusters get-credentials <cluster_name>
Get in-depth cluster information
Sometimes you want to see a little more. The describe command does just that:
$ gcloud container clusters describe <cluster_name>
SSH into instance
$ gcloud compute instances list
$ gcloud compute ssh <instance_name> --zone=<instance_zone>
And to attach to a running container:
$ sudo docker ps -a
$ sudo docker exec -it <container_id> bash
View active account
$ gloud auth list
