A regional cluster increases availability of the cluster's control plane and workloads during cluster upgrades, automated maintenance, or a zonal disruption.
To create a regional cluster, perform the following steps.
-
Visit the Google Kubernetes Engine menu in the GCP Console.
-
Click Create cluster.
-
Choose the Highly Available cluster template.
-
Choose the version of the cluster by selecting one of the following:
-
Choose the release channel the cluster is enrolled in. Your cluster and node pools will be auto-upgraded within that channel.
-
Choose a specific GKE version. Auto-upgrade is enabled by default, and your cluster and its node pools will be auto-upgraded when its current version is selected for auto-upgrade.
-
Choose the default version. Auto-upgrade is enabled by default, and your cluster and its node pools will be auto-upgraded when its current version is selected for auto-upgrade.
Using release channels is recommended. If you must specify a version, leaving auto-upgrade enabled is recommended.
-
Verify that under Location type, Regional is selected.
-
From the Region drop-down menu, select the desired region, such as us-central1.
-
Configure your cluster as desired, then click Create.
