There are many variations, some simple and some complex, on how to install
GKE on-prem and create your user clusters.
To keep your initial installation straightforward, this documentation takes you
through an installation journey that chooses the simpler options. At the end
of the journey, you have an admin cluster and a small user cluster that you can
use to deploy Kubernetes workloads.
After you've had some experience with your small cluster, you can read the
advanced topics on setup and
installation. At that
point, you can perform a second installation that includes the advanced features
of your choice, including creating a larger user cluster.
Following are the steps for installing GKE on-prem and creating
your initial user cluster:
