I am trying to provision a k8s cluster on Google Cloud Platform using gcloud
$ gcloud container clusters create my-cluster
ERROR: (gcloud.container.clusters.create) ResponseError: code=400,
message=service account "xxxxxx-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com" does not exist.
Any idea as to why this is error is occurring? I have been able to provision in the past w/o any issue until now.
Verify that the active account is your own account, and not a service account that lacks permission to create clusters.
Example command to check this and output:
$ gcloud auth list
Credentialed Accounts:
- xxxxx@developer.gserviceaccount.com
- user@example.com ACTIVEIf you don't see ACTIVE next to the expected account, then set it to the right account with:
$ gcloud config set account <correctaccountname>Maybe you switched to the service account a while back and forgot about it?
I got the same error while creating a cluster using GKE. Earlier I was getting this error because I did not attach the service account (which needs to be created and assigned with a role having Kubernetes specific permissions).
Now, the further question you might have where to attach the service account, for this you need to go the Create Cluster --> Node Pool Section --> More Options --> (a new window will popup) --> security section --> In-Service account dropdown Choose the Service account.
Once you do it, then save and say create a cluster, hopefully you will not get the same error.
