Create Clusters

You can create a new Kubernetes cluster in your Hostman control panel.

1. Go to the Kubernetes section.

2. Click Create or Add.

3. Specify the cluster parameters.

a. Kubernetes version. You will be able to update it later by choosing an available later one.

b. Master node configuration:

• • Dev: supports up to 10 worker nodes. Uses a single master node with the parameters: 2 CPU, 2 GB RAM, 30 GB NVMe.
  • Base: supports up to 100 worker nodes. Uses a single master node with the parameters: 4 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 60 GB NVMe.
  • Custom: allows you to select 1 or 3 master nodes and configure worker nodes manually.

c. Cluster maintenance window, i.e. the time period during which system updates are allowed:

4. Select worker nodes configuration. Create one or more node groups, select the number of nodes in each group, and choose a plan for them.

Here, you can also configure: 

• • Autoscaling
  • Autohealing
  • Labels
  • Taints

5. Select an existing private network or create a new one. If necessary, configure a CNI plugin. It ensures full network connectivity between cluster nodes and affects the scalability and flexibility of network policy configuration.

6. If necessary, set up an OIDC provider.

7. Fill in the cluster information (name, comment, project) and click Order. The cluster creation will take a few minutes, after which you can start working.
