Three popular cloud platforms to choose from

Google Cloud
Amazon Web Services

Since my free accounts in AWS and Azure had already exhausted, I am going with GCP for creating K8 cluster and also not to forget that K8 was developed by Google.

Create Free account in GCP

I have created my free account in GCP using my gmail and a project called My First Project is automatically created for me. I have renamed the default project to npr-devops.

Create K8 cluster

Login to GCP Portal, go to Navigation menu -> Compute -> Kubernetes Engine and click on clusters.
Click on Create on the following page
Choose GKE Autopilot on the next page
Give a meaningful name to the cluster and click on create

Cluster mydevops-cluster-1 has been created.

Check the cluster resources by using cloud shell
