How to join my local PC to Google Kubernetes Engine cluster

3/25/2020

I would like to use Google Kubernetes Engine for my Deep Learning project (google cloud storage, docker, tensorflow, etc.).

I found that Google VM Instances with GPUs are expensive for this initial phase of the project. I would like to use my 3 home computers with GPUs. Is possible to join these local computers to Google Kubernetes Engine and to create hybrid cluster?

Thank you for any feedback or comment.

I think an easier way could be to install a native K8s cluster on your 3 home computers. If you want to access data in GCP Persistent Disk or FileStore from the cluster, the CSI plugins should be also installed. These 2 repositories may help.

filestore

persistent disk
