I have set up a couple of clusters on GKE in asia-southeast. Living in Europe, I know that the latency won't be great whatever I do.
However, kubectl seems to take ages for any basic operation. For example, even a simple "kubectl get pods" takes 3-5 seconds. Is this expected? Are there any tips for these cases, other than me using a machine that's closer to the cluster itself? I have also found that when using --v=7, I can see kubectl doing quite a few requests for seemingly simple operations. For example, "get pods" does two GETs - one on /api/v1/namespaces/default/pods, and one on /swagger-2.0.0.pb-v1. They are sequential too, which doesn't help given the roundtrip. Any advice would be helpful. For what it's worth, this is an idle two-node cluster, so it cannot possibly be under load. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Kubernetes user discussion and Q&A" group.
