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.
  • 01 Standard LB : Used for M-FKE management.
  • 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 : Configure the Cluster according to your needs.

A. General Information:​

  • Name : Enter the Cluster name.
  • Version : Choose a Kubernetes version.
  • Network : Subnet used to deploy VMs for the Kubernetes Cluster.

B. Worker Group Configuration:​

M-FKE manages worker nodes through Worker Groups , a group consisting of worker nodes with similar configurations. Users can divide worker groups for suitable applications. The system requires a minimum of 01 Worker Group (Base), and users cannot remove this base worker group.

B.1 Worker Group 1:​

  • Type : Choose the configuration (CPU & Memory) for the Worker Node.
  • Container Runtime : Containerd.
  • Storage Policy : Choose the Storage Policy type (corresponding to IOPS) for the Worker Node Disk.
  • Disk (GB) : Select the root disk capacity for the Worker Node. (Minimum requirement is 40GB)
  • Min Node : The minimum number of VM instances for the Worker Node in the K8s cluster. It is recommended to have at least 03 Nodes for a production environment.
  • Max Node : The maximum number of VM instances for a worker group in the K8s cluster.

B.2 Worker Group n:​

You can add additional worker groups when initializing the K8s cluster.

C. Advanced Config:​

Settings for advanced users. If you do not understand these parameters, leave them as is.

  • 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.

Step 3 : Click Create. The system will configure, check for resources quota, and initiate the process of creating the Kubernetes Cluster based on the selected configuration.
