This action deploys an existing image to a GKE cluster. This container action leverages the gke-deploy CLI tool image which is a wrapper around kubectl apply for deploying images to GKE.

This is not an officially supported Google product, and it is not covered by a Google Cloud support contract. To report bugs or request features in a Google Cloud product, please contact Google Cloud support.

This action requires:

• Google Cloud credentials that are authorized to view a GKE cluster. You also need to create a GKE cluster.

  • Use google-github-actions/auth to authenticate the action. We recommend using Workload Identity Federation by specifying the credentials input.

• This action runs in a Docker container. It does not support the Windows platform. (See runner #904 for more details).
