A Kubernetes cluster is not required for the integration; instead, the reference pipeline uses a containerized application and uses Helm for deployments.
This demo uses Google GKE using the default settings from the Google console.
cluster-version 1.20.8
3 nodes (12GB 6 CPU) machine-type "e2-medium"
Once the cluster is provisioned, use the google console web console to run these commands to configure kubectl to connect and view the cluster nodes.
gcloud container clusters get-credentials <CLUSTER NAME> --zone <ZONE> --project <PROJECT> kubectl get nodes
