Creating Kubernetes cluster

Adding Nodes

To create a functioning Kubernetes cluster in Taikun, you need to add cloud servers to your Project. A Kubernetes cluster requires the following types of nodes:

  • Master Node: Manages the cluster’s state, such as scaling and updates.
  • Worker Nodes: Run the actual applications.
  • Bastion Node: Connects Taikun to your cluster.

Steps to Create Your First Cluster in Taikun

Follow these steps to set up your Kubernetes cluster:

1. Open your Project Open the newly-created Project from the list.

2. Click "Add Server" Locate and click the "Add Server" button on the right side of your screen.

3. Select a Flavor Choose a specific flavor to bind to your Project.

4. Add Three Servers Add the following servers to your Project:

  • 1 Bastion Node
  • (At least) 1 Worker Node
  • 1 Master Node

(Optional): You may need to repair your Project to save the current configuration.

5. Deploy Confirm the changes by pressing the "Deploy" button.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully created your first Kubernetes cluster with Taikun!

Additional Configuration Options

You can make further changes to your configuration:

  • Directly from Project Details: Options like Backup, Monitoring, or Profiles.
  • Specific Tabs: Update Access Profile or Kubernetes Profile.

Warning

Project Repair: Whenever you make changes to your Project, you must perform a Repair to ensure the changes are correctly applied, and your cluster functions as expected.
