Creating a Managed Node Pool
Find out how to create a managed node pool using Kubernetes Engine (OKE).
You can create managed node pools when you create a new cluster using the Console (see Creating Kubernetes Clusters Using Console Workflows).
You can also create new managed node pools in an existing cluster to scale up the cluster (see Adding Node Pools to Scale Up Clusters).
You can create new managed node pools using the Console, the CLI, and the API.
You can create managed node pools using the Console:
- When you create a new cluster using one of the Console workflows (see Creating Kubernetes Clusters Using Console Workflows).
- When you want to scale up an existing cluster by adding additional node pools (see Adding Node Pools to Scale Up Clusters).
- Use the oci ce node-pool create command and required parameters to scale up a cluster by adding a managed node pool:
oci ce node-pool create --cluster-id <cluster-ocid> --compartment-id <compartment-ocid> --name <node-pool-name> --node-shape <shape>
For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.
Run the CreateNodePool operation to scale up a cluster by adding a managed node pool.
