A Terraform module that provisions opinionated Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters on Google Cloud Platform, handling node pools, network policy, IP MASQ agent, and kube-dns stub domain configuration. It ships sub-modules for private, beta private, and beta public cluster variants to expose GKE beta features.

Use cases

• provision a GKE cluster with Terraform
• create a private Kubernetes cluster on Google Cloud
• configure autoscaling GKE node pools
• set up network policy and IP masquerading on GKE
• manage GKE cluster addons as infrastructure as code
• deploy a production-ready Kubernetes cluster on GCP
• reuse opinionated GKE cluster defaults across projects

When to choose

• You are provisioning and managing GKE clusters on Google Cloud with Terraform and want maintained, opinionated defaults
• You need private clusters, beta GKE features, or multiple node pools as composable Terraform sub-modules
• You want a widely adopted Google-maintained module with examples and versioned releases

When to avoid

• You are running Kubernetes on EKS, AKS, or outside Google Cloud
• You use Pulumi, CloudFormation, or other IaC tools instead of Terraform
• You need highly custom cluster configurations that fall outside the module's opinionated option set
