Add one or more Node Pools to your cluster.
A Node Pool is a collection of nodes based on a Node Template. A Node Template defines the configuration of a Node, like what Operating System image, number of CPUs and amount of RAM. Each Node Pool can have one or more Nodes Roles associated with it.
Notes:
- After you create a Node Template, it will be saved and you will be able to re-use it in additional Node Pools.
- Each Node Role (i.e.
etcd,Control Plane, andWorker) must be fulfilled. Although it is possible to apply multiple Node Roles to a Node Pool, this is not recommended.- The recommended setup is to have a Node Pool with the
etcdNode Role and a count of three, a Node Pool with theControl PlaneNode Role and a count of at least two, and a Node Pool with theWorkerNode Role and a count of at least two. Regarding theetcdNode Role, refer to the etcd Admin Guide.
