12/22/2021, 8:15 AMalso, 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

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

12/22/2021, 9:11 AMI 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?

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
so if you want 6 nodes, set initial nodes to 6

12/22/2021, 9:13 AMyes, on creation - but if you later want to update the node count (manually) this doesnt seem possible
I wonder if this is because the package is in preview status or it's not going to be supported at all

12/22/2021, 11:06 AMTo 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

12/22/2021, 11:16 AM@fierce-potato-64763 this is for the GCP package and no longer available in Google Native pkg...

12/22/2021, 11:17 AMSo, you can not create them separately there, similar to this example?
That would be the GCP recommended way.

12/22/2021, 11:17 AMyou can, but there's no option to set node count, past the initial creation
as far as I can see anyway

@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
