Troubleshooting GKE Cluster networking issues

The Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) provides a strong and expandable method for managing applications that are containerised

[{"selector":"#anim-8dd8f1f5-1120-441b-9de1-a98690d2bd0c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.93339755556636%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-43c88a4c-0004-4226-af1b-cfc5cf447c13","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a56a4b05-9f7f-458b-aa2d-7bbd5fb49448","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d65460e0-3100-4852-9181-bfdbb05396e5","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Perhaps because of network problems, pods or nodes in a GKE cluster are unable to reach the control plane endpoint

[{"selector":"#anim-826c5e36-03c5-40bf-b076-06f7f6126612 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-24.388297716929618%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aa82cd89-c52e-4682-8079-2df5aeb186b5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.2381%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3d178449-4fb6-4715-8ca9-3a475052e720","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fa372cc7-d378-4d53-999c-d69af24b6a7f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The functionality of the application may be impacted by a disruption in connectivity between pods within the cluster

[{"selector":"#anim-5d66e023-ec28-4116-b469-7fcf9d54e2b3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6477846d-4e2a-48a3-af42-89afb0b79a1f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(121.03448%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b046508e-c750-487e-8c60-ad42ef7efb35","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-42e6ccbe-7669-4afb-b332-222c36a495df","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

A GKE cluster can contain numerous nodes to divide the workload of applications for scalability and dependability

[{"selector":"#anim-36b17711-36d8-4afe-a245-cc308a1adf82 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-32.91015614629949%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e57d55c7-005f-444d-b84a-21d014d7f3f3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2a02d028-2cda-415a-89c7-2dbd1accd074","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

A diagnostic tool called connectivity tests allows you to verify that network endpoints are connected to one another

[{"selector":"#anim-8bf33b99-6259-4146-b042-7e2f641520a1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(33.48976099196668%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-55747557-4009-4754-bfb8-3baabcf4537c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.2381%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-71a07592-cebb-4dab-80ab-b8fe3d981d7a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1e70f9a3-b8fa-4d32-89db-d4da7673a822","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Make sure Cloud NAT is turned on for both pod and node CIDRs if you’re having issues with external connectivity with a private GKE cluster

[{"selector":"#anim-abbb47c0-8042-4e16-9404-fe9b11305935 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.249999904429615%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d79a7275-deb5-4549-807f-0bdcb07fac42","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e604f9d3-15d0-4e90-9713-cbea2179cb0e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78bb04f6-ef71-42df-8dae-87a09b803153","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

When it comes to troubleshooting common connectivity issues, including executing connectivity tests

[{"selector":"#anim-49d897cb-a493-42f8-af88-2c0110d17a1a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(9.54211205396835%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8716998e-e4ef-41c9-a312-85b7e928273f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ece9dd32-b4f5-4904-9404-8cb15502088a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4f7bfedc-4fbe-4d39-a9cb-55480e204703","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]
