Cluster Operations

Kubernetes clusters created on Apiculus Cloud Console allow for a set of management operations from the Cloud Console UI. While these options can be controlled using kubectl, these are provided on the UI for quick and easy access.

Cluster Operations

Powering ON/OFF a Cluster​

Kubernetes clusters can be powered ON/OFF using the power button on top of the cluster details. This button will typically show in green when a cluster is powered ON, and grey when powered OFF.

Stopping and Restarting a Cluster​

Kubernetes clusters can be stopped or restarted from the Operations section of cluster details.

  • Stop Cluster - To stop the Kubernetes cluster. No data will be lost, and the cluster can be started again. Stop Cluster

  • Restart Cluster - This action restarts the Virtual Router and the cluster nodes can/should be used if a Kubernetes Cluster has become unresponsive or unreachable. Restart Cluster

  • Scaling Cluster - This action is to manually scale this Cluster, or configure Cluster Autoscaling on it. 

    note

    that you can’t configure both manual and Autoscaling together on a Kubernetes Cluster.
