Gke

GKE

Use datus gke for GKE control-plane inventory and authentication diagnostics. Use the matching datus k8s profile for Kubernetes objects and workloads.

datus gke [--profile <env>] <command> [args...]

Add -o table|json|yaml|plain to public inspection commands. Prefer JSON when downstream work needs complete provider response fields.

Command catalogue

datus gke clusters list [-o json]
datus gke clusters describe [-o json]
datus gke nodepools list [-o json]
datus gke nodepools describe <name> [-o json]
datus gke operations list [-o json]
datus gke operations describe <name> [-o json]
datus gke server-config describe [-o json]
datus gke auth check [-o json]
datus gke kubernetes cluster
datus gke kubernetes credential

• clusters list lists clusters in the configured project and location; clusters describe reads the configured cluster.
• nodepools inspects node-pool status, version, and capacity.
• operations diagnoses recent GKE changes; describe accepts an operation ID or full resource name.
• server-config describe returns valid/default Kubernetes versions for the configured location and is useful before an upgrade.
• auth check refreshes ADC and prints only authentication status and expiry.
• kubernetes cluster emits the machine-readable cluster endpoint/CA contract. kubernetes credential emits a bearer token and is denied to Agent bash. Never invoke or print it; the k8s plugin calls it internally.

All public inventory commands are read-only. They still require Google IAM permissions for the corresponding Container API reads. Never put a credential file or access token on the command line.

Typical workflows

Diagnose a stalled change:

datus gke --profile prod clusters describe -o json
datus gke --profile prod operations list -o json
datus gke --profile prod operations describe <operation-id> -o json

Check versions before planning an upgrade:

datus gke --profile prod nodepools list -o json
datus gke --profile prod server-config describe -o json

Operate workloads through the same-named k8s profile:

datus gke --profile prod auth check -o json
datus k8s --profile prod version
datus k8s --profile prod get pods -n analytics

The k8s profile must use provider: gke. Set provider_profile only when its name differs from the GKE profile. Endpoint selection follows endpoint_mode: auto, public, private, or dns; network reachability to the selected endpoint is still required.
