Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Instructions from google suport:

Hello Erik,

I understand you’re asking for details on how you can enroll a cluster into a release 
channel. I can absolutely assist.

An important note: you can enroll an already existing cluster into a release channel, 
provided that the master version of the cluster is the same as the version used in the 
release channel. Using a relevant gcloud command as reference [1], you can find the default 
master version of a particular channel for a targeted region.

Let's say you already know which release channel, region, and cluster you will be targeting. 
From there you would enroll that cluster by using the appropriate gcloud command [2]. 
Likewise, if you decide that you suddenly need to unsubscribe a cluster from a release 
channel (provided that its not assigned to the rapid release channel), you would run the 
appropriate gcloud command [3].

The steps I’m providing to you are also documented in the release channels public 
document [4].

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns in references to release 
channels. Otherwise if I’ve managed to answer all your questions, let me know and I will 
mark your case as resolved.

If for any reason you have additional questions about the solutions provided here, you can 
respond to this support ticket within 30 days. Doing this will re-open the case automatically.

Regards,

Eric - GCP Support, San Jose
