Answer 1

You can use this advanced filter in the Cloud Logging to know when the cluster has been created:

resource.type="gke_cluster"
protoPayload.authorizationInfo.permission="container.clusters.create"
resource.labels.cluster_name="your-cluster-name"

Also using the gcloud command you can get creation time:

gcloud container clusters describe YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME --zone ZONE
