my first gke cluster

Creating your first GKE cluster using Terraform involves defining infrastructure as code for Kubernetes clusters on Google Cloud Platform:

Define Configuration: Write Terraform code specifying GKE cluster details, such as node pools, machine types, and Kubernetes version.

Deployment: Execute terraform init to initialize, terraform plan to preview changes, and terraform apply to create the cluster.

Cluster Provisioning: Terraform automates provisioning of GKE resources, including networking, nodes, and Kubernetes control plane.
