{{< alert title="Note" color="info">}}
Before planning your production GKE infrastructure, it is worth reviewing the
[different types of GKE clusters that can be created](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/types-of-clusters),
such as Zonal or Regional, as each has different reliability and cost values, and ensuring this aligns with your
Service Level Objectives or Agreements.

This is particularly true for GKE masters, which can go down temporarily to adjust for cluster resizing,
[automatic upgrades](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/cluster-upgrades) and
[repairs](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/maintenance-windows-and-exclusions#repairs).

## Next Steps

- Continue to [Install Agones]({{< relref "../Install Agones/_index.md" >}}).
