How to deploy Vultr Kubernetes Engine Cluster

Vultr Kubernetes Engine can be described as a fully managed Kubernetes product. When we deploy VKE, we will get a managed Kubernetes control plane that includes our Cloud Controller Manager and the Container Storage Interface.

Furthermore, we can configure block storage and load balancers or install add-ons such as Vultr’s ExternalDNS and Cert Manager.

Now, let’s take a look at how to deploy a VKE Cluster:

1. First, we have to sign up for an account on the VMware Cloud website.
2. Then, create an SDDC within the VMware Cloud on the AWS console. This results in a dedicated VMware environment in the cloud.
3. After that, access the VKE service within the VMware Cloud console.
4. Then, click Create New Cluster and enter the required details like cluster name, the number of worker nodes, and so on.
5. After that, we have to specify the desired Kubernetes version, networking options, and any additional settings required for your cluster. Furthermore, we can define any policies, security configurations, and storage options.
6. Now, it is time to initiate the deployment process.
7. We can monitor the progress during the deployment process through the VKE console.
8. After successful deployment, we are given access details like cluster endpoint and credentials. We can use these to connect to the cluster and interact with the Kubernetes environment.
9. Now, we can further configure and manage it according to our requirements. This includes deploying applications, configuring networking, managing storage, and scaling the cluster.

At the end of the day, we can continuously monitor the cluster’s health, resource utilization, and performance. The monitoring and logging tools help us to check if the cluster operates smoothly. Our experts recommend applying updates and security patches regularly to keep the cluster up to date.
