Kubernetes Cluster Overview

Kubernetes Cluster Overview for Stack Console​

The Kubernetes Cluster Overview page provides a detailed summary and management options for your Kubernetes cluster. It includes key details like cluster configuration, resource specifications, usage metrics, and quick actions to manage the cluster effectively.

Action Buttons​

  • Action Buttons provide shortcuts for essential Kubernetes management tasks.

Detailed Action Buttons

  • To view Action buttons, click on the cluster, which will redirect you to the Kubernetes Cluster page.

Detailed Action Buttons

  • Upgrade Kubernetes Version: Update the cluster to a newer Kubernetes release for improved features, bug fixes, and security patches.
  • Refresh: Reloads the latest cluster data, including current status and resource metrics.
  • Download Config: Downloads the kubeconfig file that allows you to interact with the cluster using CLI tools like kubectl.
  • Power Off: Gracefully shuts down the entire Kubernetes cluster.
  • Delete: Permanently deletes the cluster and all associated resources.

Cluster Overview​

Cluster Overview

  • Total CPU: Total number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) provisioned across all nodes in the cluster.
  • Total RAM: The total amount of memory (in GB) allocated to the cluster.
  • Control Nodes: Nodes responsible for managing the cluster state and coordinating worker nodes.
  • Worker Nodes: Nodes that run the containerized workloads and applications.
  • Network: The virtual network in which the cluster is deployed.
  • Status: The current state of the cluster (e.g., Running, Stopped).

Cluster Information​

Cluster Info

  • Project Name: The name of the user-defined project under which the cluster was created.
  • Created At: Timestamp showing when the cluster was created.
  • IP Address: The public IP address assigned to the cluster.
  • End Point: The API server endpoint for accessing the cluster.
  • Cloud: The cloud region or provider where the cluster is hosted.
  • Username: The default username for accessing cluster resources.
  • Location: The geographic location of the data center (e.g., Frankfurt, Germany).
  • Kubernetes Version: The current version of Kubernetes running in the cluster.
  • Auto Scaling: If enabled, the cluster can automatically adjust the number of nodes based on workload demands.
  • Minimum Size / Maximum Size: Defines the minimum and maximum number of nodes the auto-scaler can scale to (if enabled).
  • All Time Consumption: Total cost of running the cluster since creation.
  • Network: The name of the network in which the cluster is operating.
  • SSH Key: The SSH key used to securely access the nodes in the cluster.

Node Config​

Node Config

  • Current Plan: The selected infrastructure plan defining the resource limits for each node (e.g., K8s Plan 1).
  • CPU: Number of vCPUs allocated per node.
  • Memory: Amount of RAM assigned per node.
  • Storage: Disk storage capacity available to each node.

Check the Kubernetes service​

The services will be running on port. Open the same port in the firewall on the portal & also created a port forwarding rule for the same from the portal as shown in the screenshot below.

Auto Scaling

Conclusion​

The Kubernetes Cluster Overview page gives a centralized view of your cluster’s health, configuration, and resource usage. Action buttons simplify cluster maintenance, and detailed specs help with monitoring and planning.
