How to create a multi-zonal cluster using google kubernetes engine on GCP

Answer 1

To create a multi-zone cluster, set --zone to the zone for the cluster control plane, and set --node-locations to a comma-separated list of compute zones where the control plane and nodes are created. 

Use one of the following commands depending on installing default or a specific version.

Using the default version:

gcloud container clusters create [CLUSTER_NAME] \
    --zone [COMPUTE_ZONE] \
    --node-locations [COMPUTE_ZONE],[COMPUTE_ZONE],[...]

Using a specific version:

Replace [VERSION] with a specific version.

gcloud container clusters create [CLUSTER_NAME] \
    --cluster-version [VERSION] \
    --zone [COMPUTE_ZONE] \
    --zone [COMPUTE_ZONE] \
    --node-locations [COMPUTE_ZONE],[COMPUTE_ZONE],[...]
