# Setup a Kubernetes cluster on Google Cloud Engine (GCE)
Main article: [Running Kubernetes on Google Compute
Engine](https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/gce/)
## 1. Create a cluster
The recommended way is to use [Google Container
Engine](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/) (GKE). You should be able
to create a fully fledged cluster with just a few clicks.
## 2. Connect to it
Install `gcloud` as a part of [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/).
Make sure you have credentials for GCloud by running `gcloud auth login`.
In order to make API calls against GCE, you must also run `gcloud auth
application-default login`
Press `Connect` button:

![Connect pop-up](../img/gce2.png)
and execute the first command in your shell. Then start a proxy by
executing `kubectl proxy`.
Now you should be able to run `kubectl` command to create resources, get
resource info, logs, etc.
