I am following this guide to create a meteor app on kubernetes with gke.
Right at the beginning i am told to turn on the alpha component:
Follow the steps in Before You Begin to create a project, enable billing, and activate the Container Engine and Compute Engine APIs. Don't forget to turn on the alpha component!
I am not sure how to that, what is the command for it?
When i tried to skip it, i got the following error:
ERROR: (gcloud.alpha.container) Invalid choice: 'kubectl'.
Usage: gcloud alpha container [optional flags] <group | command>
group may be builds | clusters | images | node-pools | operations
command may be get-server-config
For detailed information on this command and its flags, run:
gcloud alpha container --help
The commands in that tutorial are very out of date. Instead of running gcloud alpha container kubectl create -f mongo-pod.json, use the installed version of kubectl that comes with gcloud and run kubectl create -f mongo-pod.json.
Likewise, when you see gcloud alpha container replicationcontrollers ... in the script you should replace it with kubectl replicationcontrollers ....
You may also want to send the maintainer of that repository a pull request to update their documentation and/or scripts.
