After ordering a Kubernetes cluster, you must configure it to make it functional. The following steps outline the basic configuration process for your cluster:
- The Kubernetes cluster is visible in the Kubernetes Section of the Customer Portal:
- Using the Configure action on the cluster will redirect you to the Configure Cluster page where you can set up the basic configuration for your cluster. On this page, you can select the Kubernetes version for your cluster:
- In the Node Offering Scaling Type section, you can choose between manual scaling or auto-scaling mode. For more information regarding how to scale your Kubernetes clusters, please refer here.
- In the Node Offering section, you can select from a number of available node offerings. Clicking on each offering will provide additional details, including the estimated price.
- Then, you can specify the IPs that are allowed to access your cluster. This adds an extra layer of security. For more information regarding the protection of your Kubernetes clusters, please refer here.
- As a final step, review the summary of your selections and the estimated price. Once you confirm, you can proceed to configure your cluster.
- After submitting your configuration, your cluster will enter the provisioning status. Once provisioning is complete, your cluster will be ready for use. For more information on how to get started with Kubernetes, you can refer here.
