Create New

A Kubernetes cluster is a group of machines that work together to run and manage containerized applications. It's like a powerful and automated data center for your software, making it easier to scale, deploy, and manage your applications across multiple machines.

Prerequisites

Before creating a new cluster, the user will need to add the cloud provider from Settings->Cloud Providers

At this moment Krack8 supports AWS and GCP (More Cloud Platform will be available soon).

A form will be open. User will select/input following details in the form

  • Select Provider Type: GCP /AWS
  • Input Provider Name: Any Name for Provider
  • For AWS Access Key and Secret is required.
  • For GCP a Service Account File is needed. User will need to upload service account file (JSON file)

N:B Following Permissions are required on your AWS account with provided credentials:

  1. AmazonEC2FullAccess
  2. IAMFullAccess
  3. AmazonEKSClusterPolicy
  4. AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy
  5. AmazonVPCFullAccess
  6. AmazonElasticFileSystemFullAccess
  7. AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy
  8. AmazonRoute53FullAccess
  9. AWSCloudFormationFullAccess
  10. AmazonEKS_EBS_CSI_Driver_Policy
  11. Amazon_EKS_EBS_CSI_Driver_Policy
  12. Amazon_EKS_EFS_CSI_Driver_Policy

For GCP Following Permission is needed:

01. Create Service Account With Those Roles:
