They will enable the use of internal IP addresses between two VPC networks using a network connection. Learners will create and configure a private cluster for Kubernetes in Google Cloud. The virtual machines running Kubernetes nodes will not be accessible from the outside. They will use network policies to apply fine-grained restrictions to limit communication within the cluster. Finally, they will provision two service accounts for two user personas and units for dev, test, and prod (i.e., development, testing, and production). Learners will also grant API permissions to a cluster application and perform some basic troubleshooting.
