HI. I am trying to deploy an application to GKE. When I run I get the following errors:

kubernetes:apps:Deployment (proxy):
    error: configured Kubernetes cluster is unreachable: unable to load schema information from the API server: Get "<https://127.0.0.1:32804/openapi/v2?timeout=32s>": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:32804: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
  pulumi:pulumi:Stack (project-dev):

1. Why is pulumi trying to contact 127.0.0.1:32804? 2. How/where am I supposed to specify the zone associated with the cluster? I assume this is something I am supposed to pass to the k8s.Provider constructor but I don't see how. Thank you.

1) By default, the Kubernetes provider will use your

$KUBECONFIG

environment variable or

~/.kube/config

. So I expect

127.0.0.1:32804

is likely coming from one of those. But if you're defining your GKE cluster in the same Pulumi project, you likely need to create an explicit

k8s.Provider()

as shown at https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/gcp-ts-gke/cluster.ts#L42-L80 and then used for your Kubernetes resources as shown at https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/gcp-ts-gke/index.ts#L19. 2) The zone is configured for the GCP provider. One way to do this is with

pulumi config set gcp:zone us-central1-a

. More on this is at https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/cloud-providers/gcp/setup/.

1. You were right about #1. 2. Is it possible to configure the zone inside the script file instead of using

pulumi config set

? 3. I assume that

pulumi config set

updates a file that is stack-specific?

2. Yes, but you must create an explicit GCP provider to do this - see https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#explicit-provider-configuration and then https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/gcp/provider/. 3. Yes, that's correct - anything set with

pulumi config set

is stack-specific.
