You can name this cluster how you see fit, and place it in any *Zone* that you wish. It is suggested that the cluster be made up of at least 3 nodes, and that the *Machine type* include at least 2 vCPU for performance reasons.
As you make this cluster, take note of the *Zone* that it is created it, as we will need this for the create of the Static IP inthe next step.

## Reserve a Static IP in GCP
Navigate to Compute > [Networking](https://console.cloud.google.com/networking) via the navigation menu, or follow the link directly. Here, we will reserve the Static IP address that the deployed GitLab instance will use for Ingress control. This step is very important because of the requirement for the Domain Name Service to be able to consitently resolve, and allow Let's Encrypt integration across all services.

You may supply any name you wish here, as this is not a host name but a descriptor. For this, be sure to the the *Region* to that which includes the *Zone* used when creating the GKE cluster. If you selected `us-central1-b`, your *Region* would be `us-central1`. Once the necessary fields are complete, click `Reserve`.
