What can I do next?

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 WithoutNAT layout will be used during the installation.

resources

Under this placement strategy, each node gets a public IP address (ElasticIP). NAT is not used at all.

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

Installation requirements

  1. Personal computer. The computer from which the installation will be performed. It is only needed to run the Deckhouse installer and will not be part of the cluster.

    Requirements...

    • OS: Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+, Linux (e.g. Ubuntu 18.04+, Fedora 35+);

    • installed docker to run the installer (here are the instructions for Ubuntu, macOS, Windows);

    • HTTPS access to the registry.deckhouse.io container image registry;
    • access to the API of the cloud provider, an account with rights to create resources , and a configured awscli utility.

  2. Cloud Provider Resources.

    Minimum recommended resources...

    • 8 CPU cores
    • 16 GB of RAM
    • 100 GB of disk space
    • Linux kernel version >= 5.7

The recommendations above provide the minimum summary resources required for the initial deployment of a cluster with one master node and one worker node. This configuration is sufficient for introductory purposes, but it is not suitable for production environments. Read the recommendations for preparing for production and the instructions for choosing the types and number of cluster nodes, as well as the resources for them, depending on your requirements for the operation of the future cluster.
