Deploy Cluster in Konvoy

You can use a single command line entry to create a Kubernetes cluster on any of the infrastructures supported by DKP. Within your environment, each cluster that you create with the dkp create cluster command requires a globally-unique cluster name that you specify as a flag.

The basic DKP deploy command structure is:

CODE

dkp create cluster <provider> --cluster-name=clustername --self-managed --flag1=value --flag2=value ... --flagn=value

For a complete list of supported providers, enter the command:

CODE

dkp create cluster --help

The default value for the --self-managed flag is false, so you must specify it to enable cluster creation from a single command.

When you execute it, this command:

Creates a bootstrap cluster, if one is not present
Deploys CAPI controllers on the bootstrap cluster
Waits for the cluster to be created, moves the CAPI controllers, and deletes the bootstrap cluster

Infrastructure-specific flags

Additional flags are available to enable needed features on supported cluster providers, and for on-premises and pre-provisioned clusters. You can view additional provider-specific flags and their descriptions with one of the following commands:

CODE

dkp create cluster <provider> --help
