kubectl no longer preinstalled about cloud-sdk-docker HOT 6 CLOSED

BTW, a temporary fix is to prepend your commands with

gcloud components install kubectl -q --no-user-output-enabled

from cloud-sdk-docker.

thx name-buddy!
I can confirm this works fine for me.
I was going to build the old version myself and push it to my registry. But this is way quicker.

There is really a huge need for tags here...

from cloud-sdk-docker.

Sorry for the breaking change, we just redid pretty much everything from scratch. This image didn't have tags before and we will be tagging the versions going forward. After a while, you can pin to a tag.

It'll take some time we fix tag the images on Docker Hub etc. I am not sure we will add additional components like kubectl in the image (mostly due to size reasons, and once we install some additional components, it's not clear why others are not installed).

I would recommend people to follow @max-vogler’s suggestion of creating another image based on gcloud image and installing kubectl yourself.

Yeah discovered the workaround ourselves, and +1 to tags (isn't it "best practice"?)

from cloud-sdk-docker.

That said, we may have an image with all the additional components installed. This would make the image probably a few times larger than it is in size today. I am not sure if that is desirable but I don't think we'll be maintaining a kubectl flavor of the image.

Maybe in your CI, you can build and use this dockerfile:

FROM google/cloud-sdk
RUN gcloud components install kubectl -q --no-user-output-enabled

from cloud-sdk-docker.

We saw the same issue - created this image - https://hub.docker.com/r/punitag/gcloud-sdk-kubectl/
