In this post, I am planning to discuss what are the things that we want to decide when creating a GKE cluster for your production environment. There are two major types of GKE clusters; Regional GKE cluster and Zonal GKE clusters. The main difference between those clusters are Regional GKE clusters have multiple master nodes, and Zonal cluster only has a single master node.

You must decide how much nodes and how much pods you may expect to run in your GKE cluster.

There are two main things to consider when selecting CIDR range for the worker nodes; how many nodes you are planning to have in your cluster, how many pods per node, how many total pods and services you are planning to have in your cluster.
