Creating an OKE Control Plane Subnet

On Compute Cloud@Customer, part of configuring OKE requires creating external and internal access security lists and a control plane subnet.

Create the following resources in the order listed:

  1. Create a Control Plane Security List
  2. Create the Control Plane Subnet

Create a Control Plane Security List

To create a security list, use the instructions in Creating a Security List. For Terraform input, see Example Terraform Scripts for Network Resources.

For this example, use the following input for the control plane subnet security list.

Create the Control Plane Subnet

To create a subnet, use the instructions in Creating a Subnet. For Terraform input, see Example Terraform Scripts for Network Resources.

Use the following input to create the control plane subnet. Use the OCID of the VCN that was created in Creating an OKE VCN. Create the control plane subnet in the same compartment where you created the VCN.

Important

The name of this subnet must be exactly control-plane.

Compute Cloud@Customer Console property

CLI property

  • Name: control-plane

  • CIDR Block: kmi_cidr

  • Route Table: Select "Default - private" from the list

  • Private Subnet: check the box

  • DNS Hostnames:

    Use DNS Hostnames in this Subnet: check the box

    • DNS Label: kmi

  • Security Lists: Select "kmi-seclist" and "Default Security List for oketest-vcn" from the list

  • --vcn-id: ocid1.vcn.oke_vcn_id

  • --display-name: control-plane

  • --cidr-block: kmi_cidr

  • --dns-label: kmi

  • --prohibit-public-ip-on-vnic: true

  • --route-table-id: OCID of the "Default - private" route table

  • --security-list-ids: OCIDs of the "kmi-seclist" security list and the "Default Security List for oketest-vcn" security list
