I am getting below error when trying to create the pv:
kubectl apply -f ./gke-pv.yml Error from server (Forbidden): error when creating "./gke-pv.yml": persistentvolumes "pv1" is forbidden: error querying GCE PD volume uber-disk: disk is not found
Here is the output of all the disks:
gcloud compute disks list NAME ZONE SIZE_GB TYPE STATUS uber-disk us-east1-b 20 pd-ssd READY gke-your-first-cluster-1-pool-1-1f7baff3-3dpm us-central1-a 30 pd-standard READY gke-your-first-cluster-1-pool-1-1f7baff3-4gmd us-central1-a 30 pd-standard READY gke-your-first-cluster-1-pool-1-1f7baff3-5gp9 us-central1-a 30 pd-standard READY
I know it’s more related to gke than kubernetes but thought maybe someone else already faced this issue.

Hello Mohamed. Thanks for taking the course!
I think your problem is that uber-disk is in a different GCP zone than your cluster. If you create uber-disk in the us-central1-a zone it should probably work. I’m not a GCP expert, but my understanding is that block devices like pd-ssd must exist in the same regions and zones as the nodes trying to access them.

Thanks a lot! that solved my issue 🙂
Magic!
Hello, what happens in case in the case where the GKE spans two zones, and the PD gets created in one of them: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59900266/kubernetes-persistent-volume-creation-failure-on-gke
Just create GCP persistent disk on the right zone (assuming us-central1-a) from Cloud Shell
gcloud compute disks create uber-disk --zone=us-central1-a --size=20then check if disk is created
gcloud compute disks list
I get same error, only listing does not show the disk uber-disk as Mohameds does. What I discovered is that we have to manually go create the persistent disk under compute engine -> disks. This is never actually mentioned in the video. It is only stated as it must exist and he moves right on past that. People new to google cloud and cloud in general will be LOST here as I was.
