Pre-provisioned Infrastructure

Create a Kubernetes cluster on pre-provisioned nodes in a bare metal infrastructure

The following procedure describes creating a DKP cluster on a pre-provisioned infrastructure using SSH. For a more detailed definition of a Pre-provisioned environment, refer to What is Pre-provisioned Infrastructure.

Completing this procedure results in a Kubernetes cluster that includes a Container Networking Interface (CNI) and a Local Persistence Volume Static Provisioner, and that is ready for workload deployment.

Before moving to a production environment, you may want to add applications for logging and monitoring, storage, security, and other functions. You can use DKP to select and deploy applications, or deploy your own.
