## installing gcloud SDK on Mac OS X or Linux machine

curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash

## restarting shell

exec -l $SHELL

## configuring the gcloud environment

gcloud init

## Once you have configured your gcloud environment with the GCP credentials, 
## and created a project on the GCP console, you can set that as the default project
## on your gcloud client as well as a default zone

gcloud config set project <your-project-name>
gcloud config set compute/zone us-central1-b

## gcloud comes bundled with kubectl. which is the command line client for running
## kubernetes. You can check this via

kubectl 

## simplest way to create a cluster in Google Container Engine is via the GCP console, but you can create
## a default 3 node cluster from command line also via

gcloud container clusters create <cluster-name>

## once you have a cluster running, you can configure your cluster to kubectl so that
## you can use kubectl commands to manage all the resources. This is an important step
## for all migrating users.

gcloud container clusters get-credentials <cluster-name>

## now you can use all/any kubectl commands on your newly created cluster environment
## to get the information of your cluster under kubernetes

kubectl cluster-info
gcloud container clusters describe <cluster-name>

Keep in mind that Google Container Engine (GKE) is a Google's managed kubernetes-as-a-service. With GKE, the Kubernetes master is managed by Google in this case.
