Create and manage clusters

This page describes how to create and manage Google Distributed Cloud Edge cluster resources.

For more information about Distributed Cloud Edge clusters, see How Distributed Cloud Edge works.

Local control plane clusters on Distributed Cloud Edge 1.5.x

After Google updates your Distributed Cloud Edge deployment to version 1.5.0 or later, you must manually delete and recreate all local control plane clusters that you have created with Distributed Cloud Edge version 1.4.0. Otherwise, unexpected behavior and data loss can occur. Clusters configured to use a cloud control plane continue to run normally after Google has updated Distributed Cloud Edge deployment to version 1.5.0 or later.

Create a cluster

To create a Distributed Cloud Edge cluster, complete the steps in this section. Creating a cluster is one of multiple steps required to deploy a workload on Distributed Cloud Edge.

To create a cluster with a local control plane that can run workloads while temporarily disconnected from Google Cloud, first read Survivability mode.

To complete this task, you must have the Edge Container Admin role (roles/edgecontainer.admin) in your Google Cloud project.

You must upgrade your Google Cloud SDK to version 450.0.0 or later to create local control plane clusters running Distributed Cloud Edge software version 1.5.0. Otherwise, creating such clusters will fail.

Console

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Clusters page.

    Go to Clusters

  2. Click Create cluster.

  3. On the Create a cluster page, click the On-premises tab.

  4. Next to the Distributed Cloud Edge option, click Configure.

  5. On the Cluster basics page, provide the following information:

    • Name: a unique name that identifies this cluster. This name must be RFC 1213-compliant and consist only of lowercase alphanumeric characters and hyphens (-). It must begin and end with an alphanumeric character.
    • Location: the Google Cloud region in which you want to create this cluster.
    • Default max pods per node: the desired maximum number of Kubernetes Pods to execute on each node in this cluster.
    • Labels: lets you add one or more labels to this cluster by clicking Add label.

  6. In the left navigation, click Networking.

  7. On the Networking page, provide the following information:

    • Cluster default pod address range: the desired IPv4 CIDR block for Kubernetes Pods that run on this cluster.
    • Service address range: the desired IPv4 CIDR block for Kubernetes Services that run on this cluster.

    For more information, see Distributed Cloud Edge Pod and Service network address allocation.

  8. In the left navigation, click Authorization.

  9. On the Authorization page, provide the name of the user account within the target Google Cloud project that is authorized to modify cluster resources.

  10. In the left navigation, click Maintenance policy.

  11. On the Maintenance policy page, provide the following information:

    • Enable Maintenance Window: select this checkbox to configure a maintenance window for the cluster. To prevent unexpected downtime caused by Distributed Cloud Edge software updates, we strongly recommend that you always configure a maintenance window for each Distributed Cloud Edge cluster that you create. For more information, see Understand software updates and maintenance windows.
    • Start time: the desired date and time at which the maintenance window starts for this cluster.
    • End time: the desired date and time at which the maintenance window ends for this cluster.
    • RRule: the frequency of the maintenance window in the FREQ=WEEKLY|DAILY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,SA,SU format:
      • FREQ can be DAILY or WEEKLY.
      • BYDAY: a comma-delimited list of days during which maintenance can occur if FREQ is set to WEEKLY. If you omit the BYDAY parameter, Google chooses the day of the week for you.
      • If you set FREQ to DAILY, maintenance windows occur every day during the specified hours.

  12. Assign a node pool to the cluster by doing one of the following:

    • To assign an existing node pool to this cluster, in the Node pools section in the left navigation, select the existing node pool and verify that the node pool configuration on the Node pool details page is correct.
    • To create a new node pool to assign to this cluster, click Add node pool and provide the following information on the Node pool details page:
      • Node pool name: a unique name that identifies this node pool.
      • Node pool labels: click Add label to add one or more labels to this node pool.
      • Worker nodes preference: select the Distributed Cloud Edge nodes to assign to this node pool.

  13. To create the Distributed Cloud Edge cluster, click Create.

A software upgrade typically takes about 2 hours per each node that's part of the cluster's node pool. The command returns an operation that lets you track the progress of the software upgrade. While the software upgrade is in progress, the status of the cluster is set to Reconciling and returns to Running once the upgrade completes. A cluster status of Error indicates the software upgrade failed. In such cases, run the upgrade process again.
