A step-by-step tutorial on creating and configuring a Google Kubernetes Engine Autopilot cluster. The process covers cluster creation, connecting via kubectl, deploying applications with Helm, managing node auto-scaling, and transferring secrets to ensure all pods reach a running state.

0:01 Okay, so our first step is going to be in the Google Cloud 0:04 console. 0:05 Look for the Kubernetes clusters under Products and 0:09 Pages. And then we're gonna go ahead and click Enable to enable the 0:13 Kubernetes engine API. So let's go ahead and click 0:17 on Create to create a new Kubernetes cluster. 0:20 So we can see two types of clusters. 0:22 We're gonna go ahead and choose the auto- So the autopilot mode will have 0:26 automatic scaling built in, and we're not gonna have to manage any of 0:30 the nodes 0:30 ourselves. It'll be much easier. We do pay per the pod 0:34 in this method versus the standard mode, which you pay per node. 0:38 However, since we're still on our free trial, 0:40 we're not gonna be paying for any of 0:42 this. So let's go ahead and continue with the 0:46 autopilot cluster. And we can always switch to a standard 0:50 cluster later if we need more customization. 0:53 So you can continue to see more of the great benefits we get with this cluster 0:57 autopilot, including logging, security, and best-in-class networking. 1:01 Let's go ahead and continue. I'll call the cluster sleeper, 1:04 and I'm gonna go 1:05 ahead and run it in US Central One. You can feel free to 1:09 change to any region you'd like. After that, we can stick with the default 1:12 settings and go ahead and click Create. 1:15 You should now see our new sleeper cluster displayed in this grid 1:18 here. It'll take a little bit for the cluster to 1:21 be created, so go 1:22 ahead and wait for that creation to complete. 1:25 So once our cluster is created and it has a 1:28 green status, we'll go ahead and click on the sleeper 1:32 cluster, and you can see all of the different 1:35 metadata 1:36 about this cluster. Some of the most important options here 1:40 are in
