What can I do next?

Only regions where Availability Zones are available are supported.

The minimal preset will be used during the installation:

  • The cluster consists of one master node and one worker node.
  • Kubernetes Control Plane and Deckhouse controller run on the master node.
  • Deckhouse deploys non-system components (Ingress Controller, Prometheus, cert-manager, etc.) on the worker node.
  • Your applications should run on the worker node.

Used layout...

Layout is the way how resources are located and communicate in the cloud. There are several pre-defined layouts, which you can learn more about in the documentation.

The Standard layout will be used during the installation.

  • A separate resource group is created for the cluster.
  • By default, one external IP address is dynamically allocated to each instance (it is used for Internet access only). Each IP has 64000 ports available for SNAT.
  • The NAT Gateway (pricing) is supported. With it, you can use static public IP addresses for SNAT.
  • Public IP addresses can be assigned to master nodes and nodes created by Terraform.
  • If the master does not have a public IP, then an additional instance with a public IP (aka bastion host) is required for installation tasks and access to the cluster. In this case, you will also need to configure peering between the cluster’s VNet and bastion’s VNet.
  • Peering can also be configured between the cluster VNet and other VNets.

The presentation contains an overview of the actions required to install Deckhouse.
