Creating a Node Pool
1. Access your cluster's settings to access the Node Pools section
From the Cluster Listing, select one and access the Setting option. Then, click on the Node Pools box.
2. Click on Create
Into the Node Pool section, if you have permission, you'll find the Create option at the top right corner. Click on it.
Notice, that the quantity of Node Pools per Cluster might be limited by your plan.
3. Set up you node pool
In the create Node Pool modal enter:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Enter the name of your choice for your node pool. It cannot be repeated within a cluster. |
| Instance Type | Select between Spot and On Demand based on your needs. See What are the different kind of node pools? |
| Architecture Type | Select the architecture type to be used during the creation for your instances: (64-Bit) ARM or (64-Bit) X86, based on your performance and compatibility needs. Then you’ll be able of creating new instances using a different architecture. |
| Max Memory | This sets the maximum memory the cluster can use as services scale. The autoscaler provisions instances based on demand, but this doesn't mean the cluster always uses the maximum memory; it just defines the upper limit for the autoscaler. |
| Max CPU | This sets the maximum CPU the cluster can use as services scale. The autoscaler provisions instances based on demand, but this doesn't mean the cluster always uses the maximum CPU; it just defines the upper limit for the autoscaler. |
| Storage | Set by default in 20GB, you can modify it based on your need. |
Once you’ve completed the form, click on Create in order to trigger the node pool creation into the selected cluster.
