Provision Cloud Infrastructure with Gemini

Gemini for Google Cloud is an always-on AI collaborator that provides help to users of all skill levels where they need it.

Enable Gemini Explore various Google services that you can use to deploy an app to GKE by asking Gemini context-based questions. Prompt Gemini to provide commands that you can use to deploy a basic app to a GKE cluster. Create, explore, and modify the GKE cluster by using Gemini to explain and generate the shell commands.

Enable Gemini

You will first enable Gemini in your Google Cloud project and configure the necessary permissions for your Google Cloud Qwiklabs user account. Enable the Cloud AI Companion API for Gemini: To use Gemini, grant the necessary IAM roles to your Google Cloud Qwiklabs user account:

Adding these roles lets the user use Gemini assistance.

Deploy GKE clusters

In this task, you use the Google Cloud console and Cloud Shell to deploy GKE clusters.

For the following example, consider that you are an infrastructure admin who is responsible for setting up infrastructure for a team developing a web application. The organization at large has standardized on containers and Kubernetes, so the team wants to understand how to run their web application on Kubernetes in Google Cloud. The team also wants to understand how to do so with as little infrastructure management overhead as possible.

In this case, you have the existing GKE cluster running a set of microservices that make up an ecommerce web app. With Gemini assistance, you will now identify areas to improve.

Welcome to Gemini for Cloud console

Get help where you need it with a conversational assistant that answers your questions about Google Cloud, reviews code snippets, and troubleshoots issues quickly.

 Gemini is an AI-powered collaborator to help you get more done faster. Get answers to your questions about how to get started with a Cloud solution, strategies for optimizing resources, or using the gcloud CLI to manage Google Cloud.

In addition to general knowledge about Google Cloud, it also has some awareness of your context, like your project and console page. 

Q: How can I run Kubernetes on Google Cloud without having to own management of nodes and the control plane?

To run Kubernetes on Google Cloud without having to own management of nodes and the control plane, you can use Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Autopilot. GKE Autopilot is a managed Kubernetes service that takes care of all the operational tasks associated with running Kubernetes, including node and control plane management, upgrades, and security patching. This allows you to focus on developing and deploying your applications without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.

To create a GKE Autopilot cluster, you can use the Google Cloud console, the gcloud command-line tool, or the Kubernetes Engine API. Once your cluster is created, you can deploy your applications to it using the same tools and techniques that you would use with any other Kubernetes cluster.

Here are the steps on how to create a GKE Autopilot cluster using the Google Cloud console:

Go to the Kubernetes Engine page in the Google Cloud console. Click the Create cluster button. In the Cluster name field, enter a name for your cluster. In the Location field, select the region where you want to create your cluster. In the Node pool section, select the Autopilot option. Click the Create button.

Once your cluster is created, you can deploy your applications to it using the kubectl command-line tool. For example, to deploy a simple Nginx application, you can run the following command:

kubectl create deployment nginx --image=nginx

Generated code may be subject to license restrictions not shown here. Use code with care. Learn more

This will create a deployment object that will deploy an Nginx container to your cluster. You can then use the kubectl get pods command to check the status of your deployment.

Deploy a GKE Autopilot cluster

In this task, you prompt Gemini on how to deploy a GKE Autopliot cluster.

Enter the following prompt:

Q: How do I create a GKE Autopilot cluster?

A: To create a GKE Autopilot cluster, you can use the Google Cloud console, the gcloud command-line tool, or the Kubernetes Engine API.

Using the Google Cloud console

Go to the Kubernetes Engine page in the Google Cloud console. Click the Create cluster button. In the Cluster name field, enter a name for your cluster. In the Location field, select the region where you want to create your cluster. In the Node pool section, select the Autopilot option. Click the Create button.

Using the gcloud command-line tool
```
gcloud container clusters create CLUSTER_NAME \
--node-pool=default-pool \
--num-nodes=3 \
--enable-autopilot \
--location=europe-central2-b
   
```
Generated code may be subject to license restrictions not shown here. Use code with care. Learn more

Using the Kubernetes Engine API
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: Cluster
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
  location: europe-central2-b
nodePools:
- name: default-pool
  config:
    autopilot: {}
```
Generated code may be subject to license restrictions not shown here. Use code with care. Learn more

Once your cluster is created, you can deploy your applications to it using the same tools and techniques that you would use with any other Kubernetes cluster.

For more information on GKE Autopilot, please refer to the GKE Autopilot documentation

Q: What is the command to create a GKE Autopilot cluster in my current project and in the us-west1 region named gemini-demo using the gcloud CLI?

A: The command to create a GKE Autopilot cluster in your current project and in the us-west1 region named gemini-demo using the gcloud CLI is:

gcloud container clusters create gemini-demo \
--node-pool=default-pool \
--num-nodes=3 \
--enable-autopilot \
--location=us-west1

This command will create a cluster with the following configuration:

Name: gemini-demo Region: us-west1 Node pool: default-pool with 3 nodes Autopilot: enabled

Once the cluster is created, you can deploy your applications to it using the same tools and techniques that you would use with any other Kubernetes cluster.

student_01_3c1bb184aaad@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-01-03762c2d44fe)$ gcloud container clusters create gemini-demo \

--node-pool=default-pool \
--num-nodes=3 \
--enable-autopilot \
--location=us-west1
ERROR: (gcloud.container.clusters.create) unrecognized arguments:
--node-pool=default-pool (did you mean '--max-nodes-per-pool'?)
--enable-autopilot (did you mean '--enable-autorepair'?)

gcloud help -- SEARCH_TERMS
student_01_3c1bb184aaad@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-01-03762c2d44fe)$ 

This seems to be wrong command.

Here is the correct method of creating autopilot GKE cluster

Deploy a sample web application

Now that you have created a GKE cluster in Autopilot mode, you now decide you would like to test running a sample web application similar to the web application your team will run on this infrastructure. Internally, you see that you have the following container image from Google us-docker.pkg.dev/google-samples/containers/gke/hello-app:1.0 bookmarked for testing a containerized web application:

Q: What is the kubectl command to create a deployment called hello-server for the image us-docker.pkg.dev/google-samples/containers/gke/hello-app:1.0?
