Question

also does anyone know how to control the node count in the new google native pkg it seems that there s only a setting for the initial node count

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

initial node count is all there is if you want to scale the nodes automatically you ll need to use a 3rd party mechanism like cluster autoscaler

I just wanted to control the node count manually not automatically from what I understand this is possible in the previous GCP package

am I missing something

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

initial node count should do that it s just named that way on the api presumably because they re going to add node scaling at some point

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

so if you want 6 nodes set initial nodes to 6

sparse-butcher-73713 · Answer

yes on creation but if you later want to update the node count manually this doesnt seem possible

sparse-butcher-73713 · Answer

I wonder if this is because the package is in preview status or it s not going to be supported at all

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

hmm would you mind opening an issue for that

<https github com pulumi pulumi google native issues 263> slightly smiling face

To better control the GKE cluster and node pool you should set the initial count to 1 and remove default node pool to true Then build up a new separately managed node pool <https www pulumi com registry packages gcp api docs container cluster with a separately managed node pool recommended>

< fierce potato 64763> this is for the GCP package and no longer available in Google Native pkg

fierce-potato-64763 · Answer

So you can not create them separately there similar to this example That would be the GCP recommended way

sparse-butcher-73713 · Answer

you can but there s no option to set node count past the initial creation

sparse-butcher-73713 · Answer

as far as I can see anyway

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

< sparse butcher 73713> if you need to you can create the cluster using google native and use the gcp classic provider to atatch the nodepool to the cluster
