Add one or more Node Pools to your cluster. A node pool is a set of virtual machines configured identically to your Linux host. However, each node in the pool also has additional Kubernetes master and worker components installed.
Notes:
- After you create each node template, you can use it to create additional node pools.
- Each Kubernetes role (i.e.
etcd
,Control
, andWorker
) must be filled. You can either apply all three roles to one pool or spread them around.- Ideally, you should have at least three
etcd
nodes so that your cluster can fail over to another if a etcd node goes down.
