4 Creating and Managing OKE Clusters

This chapter describes how to create, update, and delete an OKE cluster. Be sure to carefully read the descriptions of the cluster parameters before you create the cluster.

A cluster includes cluster management nodes. This chapter describes how to recognize those management nodes in a list of all instances in a tenancy.

This chapter also describes how to create a Kubernetes configuration file. You need a Kubernetes configuration file for each OKE cluster that you work with. The Kubernetes configuration file enables you to access OKE clusters using the kubectl command and the Kubernetes Dashboard.
