Creating an OKE Worker Subnet

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

Create the following resources in the order listed:

  1. Create a Worker Security List.
  2. Create the Worker Subnet.

Create a Worker 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.

This security list defines traffic that's allowed to contact worker nodes directly.

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

Create the Worker Subnet

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

For this example, use the following input for the worker subnet security list. Use the OCID of the VCN that was created in Creating an OKE VCN. Create the worker subnet in the same compartment where you created the VCN.

Compute Cloud@Customer Console property

CLI property

  • Name: worker

  • CIDR Block: worker_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: worker

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

  • --vcn-id: ocid1.vcn.oke_vcn_id

  • --display-name: worker

  • --cidr-block: worker_cidr

  • --dns-label: worker

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

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

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