resource "google_container_cluster" "allowed1" {
name = "my-cluster"
location = "asia-east1"
initial_node_count = 1
node_config {
workload_metadata_config {
mode = "GKE_METADATA"
}
machine_type = "e2-medium"
disk_size_gb = "10"
}
workload_identity_config {
workload_pool = "test-pool.svc.id.goog"
}
}
resource "google_container_cluster" "allowed2" {
name = "my-node-pool"
location = "asia-east1"
initial_node_count = 1
