title: How to enable Kubernetes API in GCP? not sorted out here by following the doc
body: <p>I am learning GCP and wanted to create a Kubernetes cluster with instance, here is what I did and what I followed with no success:</p>
  
  <p>First set the region to my default <strong>us-east1-b</strong>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>xenonxie@cloudshell:~ (rock-perception-263016)$ gcloud config set compute/region us-east1-b
  Updated property [compute/region].
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now proceed to create it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>xenonxie@cloudshell:~ (rock-perception-263016)$ gcloud container clusters create my-first-cluster --num-nodes 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ERROR: (gcloud.container.clusters.create) One of [--zone, --region]
    must be supplied: Please specify location.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So it seems default region/zone <strong>us-east1-b</strong> is NOT picked up</p>
  
  <p>I then run the same command again with region specified explicitly:</p>
  
  <pre><code>xenonxie@cloudshell:~ (rock-perception-263016)$ gcloud container clusters create my-first-cluster --num-nodes 1 --zone us-east1-b
  </code></pre>

    <p>WARNING: Currently VPC-native is not the default mode during cluster
    creation. In the future, this will become the default mode and can be
    disabled using <code>--no-enable-ip-alias</code> flag. Use
    <code>--[no-]enable-ip-alias</code> flag to suppress this warning. WARNING: Newly
    created clusters and node-pools will have node auto-upgrade enabled by
    default. This can be disabled using the <code>--no-enable-autoupgrade</code>
    flag. WARNING: Starting in 1.12, default node pools in new clusters
    will have their legacy Compute Engine instance metadata endpoints
    disabled by default. To create a cluster with legacy instance metadata
    endpoints disabled in the default node pool,run <code>clusters create</code> with
    the flag <code>--metadata disable-legacy-endpoints=true</code>. WARNING: Your Pod
    address range (<code>--cluster-ipv4-cidr</code>) can accommodate at most 1008
    node(s). This will enable the autorepair feature for nodes. Please see

    more information on node autorepairs. ERROR:
    (gcloud.container.clusters.create) ResponseError: code=403,
    message=Kubernetes Engine API is not enabled for this project. Please
    ensure it is enabled in Google Cloud Console and try again: visit

    to do so.</p>

  <p>From the warning/error it seems I need to enable Kubernetes API, and a link is provided to me already, wonderful, I then clicked the link and it took me to enable it, which I did, right after I enabled it, I was prompt to create credential before I can use the API.</p>
  
  <p>Clicking into it and choosing the right API, as you can see from the screenshot, it doesn't give me a button to create the credential:</p>

  <p>What is missing here?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much.</p>
