The EWC Managed Kubernetes Service allows you to create and manage Kubernetes clusters tailored to your tenancy's needs. This section guides you through the steps to create a new cluster within the Service Dashboard.
The service allows cluster provisioning via multiple ways. The simples approach is to rely on predefined cluster templates. Alternatively, clusters can be provisioned also manually or programmatically via the REST API.
After you log in successfully to the K8S service, you will be redirected to the main dashboard, where you can start creating and managing clusters. Here's a quick description of the Dashboard:
- Menu:
The left sidebar contains navigation options for managing your project and resources, including: Project Overview, Resources, Clusters, Cluster Templates, Access, etc.
- Project Name (Tenancy Name):
Displayed at the top, this is the tenancy name associated with your account. Every tenancy is linked to a unique project.
- Create Resource Button:
Located at the top-right corner, this button allows you to create new resources, such as Kubernetes clusters, within your project.
- Clusters:
This section lists the clusters within your project, showing their names, the number of machines, and their current status.
- Cluster Distribution:
A graphical representation of how resources, such as nodes, are distributed in the cluster environment (OpenStack).
- Access:
A list of users who currently have access to the project.
