Creating a Kubernetes Cluster
This guide provides step-by-step instructions to create and configure a Kubernetes cluster using the WebberStop Cloud Management Platform.
π§± Step 1: Create a Kubernetes Clusterβ
- Navigate to the Kubernetes section in the left-side menu.
- Click Create Kubernetes Cluster.
βοΈ Step 2: Configure Cluster Settingsβ
- Select the appropriate:
- Project
- Location
- Kubernetes Version
- Node Plan
- Adjust the Node Count to set the number of worker nodes.
- Add your SSH key to ensure access to the cluster.
info
Without an SSH key, you wonβt be able to access the control or worker nodes.
Click Add SSH Key to proceed.
π Step 3: Add Your SSH Keyβ
- Enter a name and paste your public SSH key in the dialog box.
- Click Add SSH Key to confirm.
π Step 4: Review and Create Clusterβ
- Provide a name for your Kubernetes cluster.
- Click Review & Create Cluster.
π Step 5: Finalize Cluster Creationβ
- A dialog will display the configuration summary and billing information.
- If all details are correct, click Create Cluster.
β Step 6: Cluster Createdβ
Once provisioning is complete, your Kubernetes cluster (controller and worker nodes) will be available under the Kubernetes menu.
π How to Access the Kubernetes Clusterβ
Use SSH to access your Control and Worker nodes through the Virtual Router.
π Control Node:β
ssh -i <ssh-private.key> -p 2222 cloud@<Public-IP-of-Virtual-Router>.
π Worker Node (Single or Multiple):β
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:
Node | Port |
---|---|
Worker Node 1 | 2223 |
Worker Node 2 | 2224 |
Worker Node 3 | 2225 |
Each port corresponds to a mapped worker node.
