I can't seem to find my GKE cluster's release channel.
According to the docs, I should run
gcloud beta container clusters describe cluster-name \
--zone compute-zone --format="value(releaseChannel.channel)"But when I run it, there doesn't appear to be a releaseChannel field. I also can't find it in the web console. Is there some other way to find it?
Your GKE Kubernetes cluster has an option to be created with Master version of:
Release channel:RapidRegularStableStatic version:You will not get your Release channel information when cluster was created with Static version.
Example: I created 2 GKE clusters:
Release channel: StableStatic version: 1.14.10-gke.24Checking the release channel with gke-release-channel with below command:
$ gcloud beta container clusters describe gke-release-channel --zone europe-west3-c --format="value(releaseChannel.channel)"Will output: STABLE
Checking the release channel with gke-static-version with below command:
$ gcloud beta container clusters describe gke-static-version --zone europe-west3-c --format="value(releaseChannel.channel)"The output will be empty
When creating a cluster please take a specific look on:
If you created your cluster with Release channel you can check it by going into it's cluster details. It should be on the top:
