Step 1: Create a cluster

Before you begin:

These steps assume you have created environment variables in the previous steps. Check them with the following commands:

echo $PROJECT_ID
echo $ANALYTICS_REGION
echo $ORG_NAME
echo $ENV_NAME

Click for descriptions and commands to define the variables.

These steps use the following environment variables:

PROJECT_ID: The ID of your Google Cloud project. See Hybrid quickstart - Step 2: Create a Google Cloud project
```
export PROJECT_ID=your_project_ID
```
ANALYTICS_REGION: The region in which your GKE project is running.The analytics region for your org. See Hybrid quickstart - Step 4: Create an organization
```
export ANALYTICS_REGION=your_analytics region
```
ORG_NAME: The name of your org. This must match your Google Cloud project ID. See Hybrid quickstart - Step 4: Create an organization
```
export ORG_NAME=your_organization_name
```
ENV_NAME: The name of your hybrid environment. See Hybrid quickstart - Step 6: Create an environment group
```
export ENV_NAME=your_environment_name
```

This procedure explains how to set up the cluster in which you will run Apigee hybrid. The instructions vary depending on the platform in which you are running hybrid. Select your platform to see the instructions.

GKE

This step explains how to set up your shell environment and create a GKE cluster in your Google Cloud project.

Creating a cluster

Gather your cluster requirements for Apigee hybrid cluster:
- Minimum cluster configurations
- Configure dedicated node pools
Check the version of GKE supported by this version of hybrid version 1.4.4:
- Apigee hybrid: supported platforms
Use the following instructions to create a user cluster:
- Creating a zonal cluster.

When you have a cluster installed and running, go to the next step.
