Deploy a Kubernetes Cluster

Your applications run on a Kubernetes cluster. Get one into AstroPulse in one of two ways.

In the console​

You haveDo this
A cloud account (AWS, Google Cloud or Azure)Create a cluster: AstroPulse creates it in your account from the console wizard (open it) and manages it. Each cloud's settings and terminal path: EKS, GKE, AKS, self-hosted.
A cluster already (any provider, on-premises, or local such as kind)Bring Your Own Kubernetes: register it, and AstroPulse installs a small agent that connects out.

On the Developer plan, an organization can create 1 cluster and register 3. See Billing.

You should see​

The cluster appears under Infrastructure › Kubernetes. A cluster AstroPulse created reads Ready; a registered one reads Registered, with its Agent line Connected. If either stops, its Events tab says why.

Ask Nova​

Nova gives you the commands to connect your cloud account. Once it is connected, Nova can create the cluster: it shows you the cluster spec, checks it with the platform, and applies it only after you approve. For a cluster you already have, it gives you the exact register command to run. Ask Nova in the console. See where you can use Nova.
