Next, go to the Kubernetes page using the menu on the left-hand side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then click the Create new cluster<\/em> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, configure your Kubernetes cluster according to your preferences by selecting the availability zone, a private network and node groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note that during the Open Beta<\/strong>, Managed Kubernetes is available on Next, select a Private Network for your worker nodes. This network should be in the same zone as your created cluster. The network cannot be connected to an existing cluster, cannot have an attached router, and should have DHCP enabled with the default route from DHCP disabled. For the IP network of your SDN network, you can use for example\u00a010.0.1.0\/24<\/tt>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then create a node group or use the default node group. A node group is a group of workers with identical image templates. You can have multiple node groups with differing configurations and usages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You also have the options to include key-value labels. The labels are forwarded to kubernetes node definitions and can be used to organize and to select subsets of Kubernetes objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Optionally, expand the Advanced options<\/em> to find the Anti-affinity option<\/em> and the ability include SSH keys<\/em>. Note that you will need to add your SSH public key first in your account details<\/a> before deploying it to your Kubernetes cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, name your cluster and when all set, click the\u00a0Create<\/em>\u00a0button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cluster creation will take a couple of minutes as worker nodes are provisioned and a DNS record is prepared. While your cluster is being created, continue on to setting up your control plain access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To be able to deploy workloads to your Managed Kubernetes cluster, you’ll need to configure a connection to it using the kubectl command-line tool with a kubeconfig file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can download your cluster’s kubeconfig file from your cluster’s Overview page and set it up on your local computer. Kubeconfig files are used to organize information about clusters, users, namespaces, and authentication mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The kubeconfig file allows you to access your cluster easily via the command line. If you do not yet have kubectl installed, follow the instructions for your computer system<\/a> then continue with the step below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add the kubeconfig.yaml<\/tt> file to your system with the command provided at the Kubeconfig section of your cluster Overview. Make sure to set the path correctly depending on where you saved the configuration file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will likely want to add the same command to your profile as well to have it automatically set when you open a new terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When set, test that your cluster is accessible and can be reached by using kubectl<\/tt>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are seeing an output similar to the example above, you are ready to start deploy applications to your new Managed Kubernetes cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you have created your Managed Kubernetes cluster and connected to it using kubectl, you probably want to test it out. This can be done quick and easy with just a few commands with kubectl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by deploying a\u00a0Hello UKS<\/em>\u00a0application to your newly created cluster with the command below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, expose the application at port 80 making it accessible via HTTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This bit will take a moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can keep an eye on the services with the next command to see when the app becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the hello-uks<\/tt> app has been successfully exposed, you’ll see a load balancer domain name under the external IPs column. It can then be called on the command line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also open the load balancer address on your web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s it! You should now have a fully functional Managed Kubernetes with kubectl configured to connect to the control plain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can learn more about exposing services<\/a> or adding persistent volumes<\/a> for storage at our GitHub page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":33067,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","community-category":[109,114,127],"class_list":["post-32921","tutorial","type-tutorial","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","community-category-upcloud-services","community-category-kubernetes","community-category-managed-services"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tutorial\/32921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tutorial"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tutorial"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32921"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"community-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiogo.tech\/upcloudold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/community-category?post=32921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/media\/1-managed-kubernetes-1024x469.png\")
