Cannot create GCE cluster with "gcloud" CLI in Europe

[Jan Mewes]

Hi,

we create new GCE clusters in our continuous delivery pipeline automatically multiple times a day. Since  (12.10.2017 15:18:38) this process doesn't work anymore. The cluster creation command leads after around 20 minutes to an error with the following status message:

All cluster resources were brought up, but the cluster API is reporting that only 0 nodes out of 1 have registered. Cluster may be unhealthy.

Steps to reproduce

CLUSTER_NAME= # my cluster name
PROJECT_NAME= # my project name
ACCOUNT_NAME= # my account name

COMPUTE_ZONE=europe-west1-d
MACHINE_TYPE=n1-standard-2

export CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME=$CLUSTER_NAME

gcloud config configurations create $CLUSTER_NAME --no-activate
gcloud config set project $PROJECT_NAME
gcloud config set compute/zone $COMPUTE_ZONE
gcloud config set account $ACCOUNT_NAME

gcloud auth login

gcloud container clusters create $CLUSTER_NAME --num-nodes 1 --machine-type $MACHINE_TYPE


Environment
- The problem can be reproduced with different host systems: Debian, CentOS, MacOS
- We tried to create the clusters in different European regions but everytime there was the same problem. (europe-west1-d,europe-west3-c)
- With the compute zone "us-east1-b" the command succeeded.
- On my local laptop (MacOS) I am using Google Cloud SDK 175.0.0.

Diagnostic information
- This is the full error message:


$ gcloud container clusters create $CLUSTER_NAME --num-nodes 1 --machine-type n1-standard-2

Can you please help us to figure out a solution for this?

We are currently investigating an issue where GKE clusters on europe-west cannot be created. There is not an E.T.A but our backend teams are working on this with high priority.

This issue have been solved.
