Sometimes, I run into the following issue:
➢ gcloud config list
[compute]
zone = us-central1-b
[container]
cluster = my-awesome-cluster
[core]
account = pkaramol@stackoverflow.com
disable_usage_reporting = False
project = some-nice-project
Your active configuration is: [default]
(.venv)
~/Workspace/sail-cli 4_bug_multiple_clusters ✗ 5h28m ⚑
➢ k get nodes
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
gke-nodepool1-443c46af-mhmw Ready <none> 7h27m v1.12.7-gke.25
gke-nodepool1-da892b44-8440 Ready <none> 7h27m v1.12.7-gke.25
Then for example I want to describe one instance (for some reason):
➢ gcloud compute instances describe gke-nodepool1-443c46af-mhmw
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.describe) Could not fetch resource:
- The resource 'projects/some-nice-project/zones/us-central1-b/instances/gke-nodepool1-443c46af-mhmw' was not found
I guess this happens because by default, the above command performs an inquiry within the zone set here:
[compute]
zone = us-central1-b
Is there a way to set the above zone to match the gke cluster's zone?
You can change your default zone with this command
gcloud config set compute/zone <zone>
But if you have 2 clusters, each is different zones, nothing is magic. You will have to change manually your zone before requesting the resource.
gcloud config set compute/zone <zone>
You can also unset the default:
gcloud config unset compute/zone
Or pass a --zone parameter to the instance command:
gcloud compute instances describe --zone <zone> gke-nodepool1-443c46af-mhmw
