Create Kubernetes Cluster

Kubernetes Clusters can be provisioned into any Cloud Type by setting the CONTAINER MODE to Kubernetes in the Advanced Settings of a Cloud.

Important

The CONTAINER MODE must be set prior to provisioning any Docker Hosts. Once Docker Hosts exist in a Cloud, the CONTAINER MODE setting cannot be changed.

Once the CONTAINER MODE is set on a Cloud, a Kubernetes Cluster can be created by selecting + CONTAINER HOST -> Kubernetes Master and then Kubernetes Worker from Infrastructure -> Hosts or Infrastructure -> Clouds -> select Cloud -> Hosts.

Important

For the Kubernetes Cluster to be successfully created, the Kubernetes Master must finish provisioning before the worker(s) are created. Do not start provisioning a worker in the cluster until the Master is completed.
