Installation of Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform on VK Cloud (OpenStack) is only possible in the Enterprise Edition. See information about commercial editions.

Before installation, ensure the following:

  • Cloud provider quotas for cluster deployment.
  • The cloud-init package is installed on the VMs. After the VM starts, services cloud-config.service, cloud-final.service, cloud-init.service must be running.
  • The virtual machine template contains only one disk.

Additional requirements and notes

  • For ContainerdV2 on cluster nodes, the OS on virtual machines must meet the requirements:
    • Linux kernel version 5.8 or newer;
    • CgroupsV2 support;
    • Systemd version 244 or newer;
    • erofs kernel module support.

    For more information, see the ClusterConfiguration resource.

  • From version 1.74, Deckhouse has a module integrity control mechanism (protection against replacement and modification). It turns on automatically when the OS on the nodes supports the erofs kernel module. Without it, Deckhouse runs as before but the mechanism is off — an alert will indicate it is unavailable.

You need to create a service account so that Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform can manage resources in the VK Cloud. The detailed instructions for creating a service account are available in the documentation.

A brief sequence of actions (run them on the personal computer) necessary to obtain authorization data:

  • Follow this link;
  • Switch to the «API keys» tab;
  • Click the «Download openrc version 3» button;
  • Run the downloaded shell script. It will create values for environment variables to use in the provider parameters of the Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform configuration.
