Creating a Kubernetes Cluster

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to create and configure a Kubernetes cluster using the WebberStop Cloud Management Platform.


🧱 Step 1: Create a Kubernetes Cluster​

  1. Navigate to the Kubernetes section in the left-side menu.
  2. Click Create Kubernetes Cluster.

βš™οΈ Step 2: Configure Cluster Settings​

  1. Select the appropriate:
    • Project
    • Location
    • Kubernetes Version
    • Node Plan
  2. Adjust the Node Count to set the number of worker nodes.
  3. Add your SSH key to ensure access to the cluster.

Without an SSH key, you won’t be able to access the control or worker nodes.

Click Add SSH Key to proceed.


πŸ” Step 3: Add Your SSH Key​

  1. Enter a name and paste your public SSH key in the dialog box.
  2. Click Add SSH Key to confirm.

πŸ“‹ Step 4: Review and Create Cluster​

  1. Provide a name for your Kubernetes cluster.
  2. Click Review & Create Cluster.

πŸš€ Step 5: Finalize Cluster Creation​

  1. A dialog will display the configuration summary and billing information.
  2. If all details are correct, click Create Cluster.

βœ… Step 6: Cluster Created​

Once provisioning is complete, your Kubernetes cluster (controller and worker nodes) will be available under the Kubernetes menu.


πŸ” How to Access the Kubernetes Cluster​

Use SSH to access your Control and Worker nodes through the Virtual Router.

πŸ“Œ Control Node:​

ssh -i <ssh-private.key> -p 2222 cloud@<Public-IP-of-Virtual-Router>.

πŸ“Œ Worker Node (Single or Multiple):​

ssh -i <ssh-private.key> -p 2223 cloud@<Public-IP-of-Virtual-Router>

If your cluster has more than one worker node, access them via incremental ports:

NodePort
Worker Node 12223
Worker Node 22224
Worker Node 32225

Each port corresponds to a mapped worker node.
