Missing clusters after resolving GCP billing.

  • Gcp project had unresolved billing.
  • This led to instances and k8 resources unaccessible.
  • We resolved the billing.
  • All instances and (k8) instance groups came back.

Problem the clusters are nowhere to be seen.

gcloud container clusters list
*empty*

Before this we had services running.

All loadbalancers are visible under network services

How do I rebuild the cluster from the instances?

    Hi there! Normally services can take some time to be reconciled once a valid billing account was attached to the project. I think your best chance is to contact Google Cloud Support so they can help you with this. – Armando Cuevas Aug 11 '21 at 20:56

    Are you sure to request the correct project? Can you add a `--project=` with your project ID at the end of the gcloud command? – guillaume blaquiere Aug 11 '21 at 21:00
  • @guillaumeblaquiere Yes I have. Checked on gcp `web console ->kubernetes->clusters` as well – Kevin Kaburu Aug 12 '21 at 09:03

By any chance was the unresolved billing related to the end of the GCP free trial?

If this was the case, if this was less than 30 days, there is still a good chance of getting your clusters back. Since at then end of the free trial all services are stopped and sent for deletion, as outlined here. But there is a grace period of 30 days so these services can be recovered

If this is still before the 30 days, and you have upgraded to a paid GCP plan and the clusters have not showed up, I would indeed recommend to contact GCP support to see what is going on
