Suicidal clouds cause consternation

Another day another piece of infrastructure cowardly craps out. Today it was Google GKE. It updated itself to 1.11.3-gke.18, and then had this to say (while nothing was working, all pods were stuck in Creating, and the Nodes would not come online since the CNI failed).

2018-12-03 21:10:57.996 [ERROR][12] migrate.go 884: Unable to store the v3 resources
2018-12-03 21:10:57.996 [ERROR][12] daemon.go 288: Failed to migrate Kubernetes v1 configuration to v3 error=error storing converted data: resource does not exist: BGPConfiguration(default) with error: the server could not find the requested resource (post BGPConfigurations.crd.projectcalico.org)

Um, ok. Yes I am running ‘Project Calico’ in my GKE. The intent was to have network policy available. My cluster dates from ‘ancient times’ of april 2018.

I did some searching online, and found nothing. So in desperation I did what most of you would have done, just created the CRD, as below. And, miracle of miracles, I’m back and running. If this fixes you, you’re welcome. If you came here to tell me what dire thing is ahead of me for manually messing with a managed product, I’d love to know that too.
