How to deploy services to an autopilot GKE cluster from marketplace?

[Vandana2609]

Hi, I want to deploy cert-manager from google cloud marketplace to a GKE autopilot cluster. But it is showing that autopilot cluster integration with marketplace is in progress and not letting me choose the  autopilot cluster. How can I solve the issue?

Hi @Vandana2609,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

As of the moment, installing cert-manager through the Cloud Console is currently not supported for Autopilot clusters. There is no definite time when the update will finish. 

You may install cert-manager in your Autopilot cluster through Helm. You may do so by running the following commands inside your Autopilot cluster[1]:

$ helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
$ helm repo update
$ helm install --create-namespace --namespace cert-manager --set installCRDs=true --set global.leaderElection.namespace=cert-manager cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager

After around 5-10 minutes, cert-manager should successfully deploy in the cert-manager namespace.

I hope this answers your question. Thank you. 😃
