Description

Alpha clusters are designed for early adopters to experiment with workloads that take advantage of new features before those features are production-ready. They do not receive security updates, have node auto-upgrade and node auto-repair disabled, and cannot be upgraded. Therefore, Alpha clusters are not covered by an SLA and are not production-ready. It was detected that {GcpGkeCluster} is an Alpha cluster.
  • Recommended Mitigation

    Alpha features cannot be disabled. To remediate, a new cluster must be created. Consider creating a replacment cluster for {GcpGkeCluster} without the Alpha features enabled.
