I understand what you mean, but your GKE instances probably can be logged onto: `gcloud compute ssh --zone=<node-zone> <node-name>`

Both COS and Ubuntu nodes are integrated with IAM, so this transparently provisions a user on the node, and copies a temporary SSH key. If your GCP user has the appropriate IAM permissions, they will also be able to use `sudo` to execute commands as root.
