#TODO: instructions needed here

gcloud projects create gitops-training-flux

👉 Provision a Kubernetes cluster

export region='europe-west1-b'
export name='myk8scluster'

# Setup of the GKE cluster
gcloud container clusters create --region='europe-west1-b' 'myk8scluster'

# Once created (the creation could take ~5 min), get the kube configuration to interact with your GKE cluster
kubectl get nodes
