gcloud miss k8s master after the end of the trial

The master disappeared after the end of the trial period. Worker nodes and disk remain. Can I get the master back somehow? Already tied up and paid for in gcloud.

At the moment, he proposes to make only a new cluster.

Workers are in the Compute Engine

Citing the documentation:

End of the Free Trial

The Free Trial ends when you use all of your credit, or after 90 days, whichever happens first. At that time, the following conditions apply:

• To continue using Google Cloud, you must upgrade to a paid Cloud Billing account.
• All resources you created during the trial are stopped.
• Any data you stored in Compute Engine is lost.
• Your Cloud Billing account enters a 30-day grace period, during which you can recover resources and data you stored in any Google Cloud services during the trial period.
• You might receive a message stating that your Cloud Billing account has been canceled, which only indicates that your account has been suspended to prevent charges.

According to the official documentation, specifically on the part of:

• Any data you stored in Compute Engine is lost.

I suggest you to create a new GKE cluster.

GKE nodes are Compute Engine VM instances that GKE creates on your behalf when you create a cluster.

As for the control plane (master):

The control plane runs the control plane processes, including the Kubernetes API server, scheduler, and core resource controllers. The lifecycle of the control plane is managed by GKE when you create or delete a cluster. This includes upgrades to the Kubernetes version running on the control plane, which GKE performs automatically, or manually at your request if you prefer to upgrade earlier than the automatic schedule.

If it came to the situation that you would like to inspect the disks for any data still stored on them, you could try to mount them to the other VM by editing the VM configuration (Additional disks):
