Question

Can anybody comment as to why it is not recommended to use the default node pool for `gcp container Cluster` and it is recommended to use `gcp container NodePool` instead I know that this is also Terraform s recommendation but I wasn t able to find the rationale behind it

Not really At this point my only guess would be that if you wanted to update the node pool you can do so without having to delete replace the cluster but that s just an assumption I guess that s easily testable though

If the default pool is used and then subsequently changed via the cluster resource maybe it will have to recreate the cluster

hehe yeah it s pretty easy to test these things I guess but it still takes a lot of time and requires setting up throwaway clusters would be nice if the docs were slightly more elaborate on this smile
