Cluster blueprint catalog

A cluster blueprint is a YAML file that defines a reusable configuration and describes the specific environment that you want to deploy using Cluster Toolkit. A cluster blueprint implements and documents a specific opinionated solution. For more information about cluster blueprints, see Cluster blueprint.

To search the catalog, you can filter by a combination of your required scheduler, storage, machine types, and base operating system. For each cluster blueprint, featured applications and Google Cloud resources that can be leveraged by using the blueprint are also highlighted.
