Add existing instances to a kubernetes cluster

4/5/2018

Is it possible to add existing instances in the GCP to a kubernetes cluster?

I can see the inputs while creating the cluster in graphically mode is :

Cluster Name, Location, Zone, Cluster Version, Machine type, Size.

In command mode:

gcloud container clusters create cluster-name --num-nodes=4

I'm having 10 running instances.

I need to create the kubernetes cluster with the already existing running instances

On your instance run the following

kubelet --api_servers=http://<API_SERVER_IP>:8080 --v=2 --enable_server --allow-privileged
kube-proxy --master=http://<API_SERVER_IP>:8080 --v=2

This will connect your slave node to your existing cluster. Its actually surprisingly simple
