It doesn't actually, and if you're running on GKE then the master is a managed service - you can have a single-node cluster (I do this occasionally for testing).
Said startup might want to consider going with smaller machines in separate availability zones, though ;-)
(Disclaimer: I work in Google Cloud)
- brianwawok 7y ago2 is a decent number for GKE. At least some hope of staying up if a node falls over. 3 is more realistic though. If you run at 66% utilization, can deal with a single node down.
