Define node locations, machine types, network settings, and other parameters according to your workload needs. 

3. Registering GKE Clusters with Anthos:

• Register clusters to a fleet:

Connect your GKE clusters to a fleet to enable multi-cluster management features. 

• Use the Connect Agent:

This agent establishes a secure connection between your clusters and Google Cloud, enabling management from the console and CLI.
