Create New K8S Cluster

Note : Some mandatory conditions for performing this operation:

  • CPU, RAM, Storage , and Instance quotas must be sufficient for the desired Cluster configuration.
  • 01 Public IP Available: Used for the Kubernetes API and Ingress.
  • 01 VM Network : Network used for Kubernetes Nodes. Create a Subnet with a Static IP Pool as instructed here.

Step 1 : In the FPT Portal menu, select Kubernetes > Create. Step 2 : Enter Cluster's general information and click

  • Name : Enter the Cluster name.
  • Version : Choose a Kubernetes version.

Step 3 : Configure Node Pools as desired, then click

Storage Policy & Load Balancer​

  • Policy : Choose Storage Policy for Disk of VMs in the Kubernetes Cluster.
  • LB Size : Load Balancer's config:
    • Standard : Max 2000 CCU, 4000 HTTP req/s, bandwidth 100Mbps.
    • Advanced : Max 4000 CCU, 8000 HTTP req/s, bandwidth 100Mbps.
    • Premium : Max 8000 CCU, 16000 HTTP req/s, bandwidth 100Mbps.

Master Node Configuration​

  • Type : Choose CPU & Memory configuration for Master Node
  • Disk (GB) : Choose root disk’s capacity for Master Node
  • High Availability :
    • Disable: Quantity (1) corresponds to the number of Master Node's VM instance for this Cluster is 01.
    • Enable: Quantity (3) corresponds to the number of Master Node's VM instance for this Cluster is 03.

Worker Node Configuration​

  • Type : Choose CPU & Memory configuration for Worker Nodes
  • Disk (GB) : Choose root disk’s capacity for Worker Nodes
  • Quantity : Number of Worker Nodes for this Cluster
  • Autoscale : Enable/Disable Autoscale function for this Cluster. If you select Enable , please enter the Scale Min value (number of remaining nodes when scaling down) and Scale Max value (maximum number of nodes when scaling up).

Node Credentials:​

  • SSH Keys : Key is used for access VM Node (user root). If you haven’t create one, please follows the instructions here.

Step 4 : Configure Advanced configuration, then click

NFS Storage:​

  • Enable NFS Persistent Storage : Enabling NFS Persistent Storage to be deploy along with this Cluster.
  • Disk (GB) : Capacity of NFS Storage. Remember to have suitable sizing, changing disk capacity will hvae to be done manually by the user.

Firewall Configuration:​

These settings are for advanced users, click theview icon to expand. If you do not understand these parameters, leave them as default.

  • Enable Firewall : Select to configure Edge IP, Public IP, Private IP with Kubernetes Cluster.

Advanced Config:​

These settings are also for advanced users, click theview icon to expand. If you do not understand these parameters, leave them as default.

  • Pod Network : Network used for Pods in the cluster.
  • Service Network : Network used for Services in the cluster.
  • Network Node Prefix : Subnet Prefix for Pods in the Node.
  • Max Pod per Node : Maximum number of Pods on each Kubernetes Node.
  • Node DNS : DNS is used for Nodes and Kubernetes Cluster. Enter your desired DNS to use your DNS system.

Step 5 : Click The system will display a screen to confirm all entered information, to check the resources and proceed with the process of initializing the Kubernetes Cluster based on the selected configuration. Step 6 : Click Create a Kubernetes. The system will configure, check for resources quota, and initiate the process of creating the Kubernetes Cluster based on the selected configuration.
