Learn how to create a new OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes cluster.
OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes service provides you with Kubernetes clusters without the hassle of installing or operating them.
Requirements
- access to OVHcloud Control Panel
- an OVHcloud Public Cloud project
Instructions
From the OVHcloud Control Panel:
- Go to the
Public Cloudsection and select your project. - Click
Managed Kubernetes Service. - Click
Create a cluster.
Select a location for your new cluster and click Next.
Choose the minor version of Kubernetes and click Next.
You can now choose to integrate your Kubernetes cluster into a private network using OVHcloud vRack. Click Next once you have chosen the network for your cluster.
For more information about this option, please read our Using the vRack guide.
Now you can configure the default node pool. A node pool is a group of nodes sharing the same configuration, allowing you flexibility in your cluster management. Once you have made your selection, click Next.
In the next step, define the size of the default node pool and click Next.
Alternatively, you can enable the Autoscaling feature for the cluster. Define the minimum and maximum pool size in that case. Once you have made your selection, click Next.
In the next step, choose the appropriate billing mode (monthly or hourly). You can also enable the anti-affinity mode here. Once you have made your selection, click Next.
Moreover, if you choose the monthly billing method, you cannot change later from monthly to hourly. A change is only possible the other way around.
Finally, name your cluster and click the Send button.
The cluster creation is now in progress and will take some time to install. To check the status of your new cluster, click its name from the list of available clusters. The current status is visible under Cluster information.
