Unfortunately, I suspect this might be an error upstream. Someone filed a similar issue: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-google-native/issues/418>

Are you able to add the pool via the gcloud CLI? If you can, then it might be something with the underlying API from upstream. If you can't, it might give you a better error code (there's some spots where our native provider is giving a generic code as it's still in beta, and we want to fix those)

I was able to add the node pool via the cli, and if I did `pulumi up` on a completely new stack it would let me do that as well. The problem was only from updating a currently existing cluster via pulumi.

Oh, interesting. Let me go digging for a sec; one minute

That really seems like a bug. Can you open an issue in the native provider, please? <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-google-native/issues/new?assignees=&amp;labels=kind%2Fbug%2Cneeds-triage&amp;template=bug.yaml>

I can't pinpoint it in the schema, but it's likely there's an error message getting swallowed.

Sure when I get the time I will do just that.
