Cluster Operations

Kubernetes clusters created on Apiculus CloudConsole allow for a set of management operations from the CloudConsole UI. While these options can be controlled using kubectl, these are provided on the UI for quick and easy access.

Powering ON/OFF a Cluster

Kubernetes clusters can be powered ON/OFF using the power button on top of the cluster details. This button will typically show in green colour when a cluster is powered ON, and grey when powered OFF.

Stopping and Restarting a Cluster

Kubernetes clusters can be stopped or restarted from the Operations section of cluster details.

• Stop Cluster - To stop the Kubernetes cluster. No data will be lost, and the cluster can be started again.
• Restart Cluster - This action will restart the Virtual Router and the cluster nodes; can/should be used if a Kubernetes Cluster has become unresponsive or unreachable.

Deleting a Cluster

A cluster can be deleted permanently from the Operations section under cluster details. This action is irreversible, and no data from a deleted Kubernetes cluster can be recovered.
