Create a Standard mode cluster and enable the workload Identity

It may take around 7 minutes.

CLUSTER_NAME="sample-cluster-standard-dev"

gcloud container clusters create ${CLUSTER_NAME} \
       --zone us-central1-a --additional-zones us-central1-b,us-central1-c \
       --num-nodes=1 --min-nodes=1 --max-nodes=10 \
       --enable-autoscaling --autoscaling-profile optimize-utilization 

NAME                        LOCATION       MASTER_VERSION  MASTER_IP       MACHINE_TYPE  NODE_VERSION    NUM_NODES  STATUS

IMPORTANT: In case of the Standard mode cluster, you HAVE to enable the workload Identity on GCP console and update node pools:

gcloud container node-pools update default-pool \
    --cluster=${CLUSTER_NAME} \
    --workload-metadata=GKE_METADATA

Default change: During creation of nodepools or autoscaling configuration changes for cluster versions greater than 1.24.1-gke.800 a default location policy is applied. For Spot and PVM it defaults to ANY, and for all other VM kinds a BALANCED policy is used. To change the default values use the `--location-policy` flag.
