If you did the previous example, you must have noticed that we were deploying our cluster and its workloads in just one zone. By default, a cluster deploys all of its components (cluster master and its nodes) in a single zone. In production environments, multi-zone, or regional clusters are deployed to improve availability and to make deployments resilient to failures.
There is a difference between regional and multi-zone clusters. In a multi-zone cluster, nodes are created in multiple zones and a single cluster master is created in a specific zone. In a regional cluster, by default you create three cluster masters in three zones and nodes in multiple zones, depending on the number you need. You choose to create a multi-zone ...
