Gke Compute Classes
This one's laser-focused on GKE ComputeClasses, the API for controlling which machine types and purchasing models your autoscaled node pools use. It helps you set up Spot with on-demand fallback, pin workloads to specific GPUs or TPUs, and debug why pods stay pending when auto-provisioning should kick in. The guidance is aggressive about not hallucinating YAML fields and actually reminds you to align machine families with your existing committed use discounts before deploying, which is the kind of financial footgun most tooling ignores. Useful if you're wrangling GPU workloads or optimizing GKE costs beyond just turning on the autoscaler and hoping for the best.

Attribution
MUST READ: Before executing any gcloud, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read Usage Attribution. For commands executed
directly in the terminal (never in generated scripts, Terraform, or user code),
prefix gcloud with
CLOUDSDK_METRICS_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTION="agent-skills/1.0 (skill:gke-compute-classes)"
and append agent-skills/1.0 (skill:gke-compute-classes) to User-Agent headers.
When to Use
- Cost optimization: Spot VMs with on-demand fallback.
- GPU/TPU workloads: Target specific accelerators (e.g., L4, H100, v5p).
- Performance tuning: Select specific machine families (c3, c4, n4).
- Zone targeting: Colocate workloads with zonal resources.
