Quickstart Google Kubernetes Engine

To set your default compute zone to us-central1-a, start a new session in Cloud Shell, and run the following command:
```
gcloud config set compute/zone us-central1-a
```

To create a cluster, run the following command, replacing [CLUSTER-NAME] with the name you choose for the cluster (for example:my-cluster).
```
gcloud container clusters create [CLUSTER-NAME]
```

To authenticate the cluster, run the following command, replacing [CLUSTER-NAME] with the name of your cluster:
```
gcloud container clusters get-credentials [CLUSTER-NAME]
```

To create a new Deployment hello-server from the hello-app container image, run the following kubectl create command:
```
kubectl create deployment hello-server --image=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0
```
To create a Kubernetes Service, which is a Kubernetes resource that lets you expose your application to external traffic, run the following kubectl expose command:
```
kubectl expose deployment hello-server --type=LoadBalancer --port 8080
```
To inspect the hello-server Service, run kubectl get:
```
kubectl get service
```
To view the application from your web browser, open a new tab and enter the following address, replacing [EXTERNAL IP] with the EXTERNAL-IP for hello-server.
```
http://[EXTERNAL-IP]:8080
```

To delete the cluster, run the following command:
```
gcloud container clusters delete [CLUSTER-NAME]
```
When prompted, type Y to confirm.
