ovhcloud cloud managed-kubernetes create

Create a new Kubernetes cluster

Synopsis

Use this command to create a managed Kubernetes cluster in the given public cloud project. There are three ways to define the creation parameters:

  1. Using only CLI flags:

    ovhcloud cloud managed-kubernetes create --name MyNewCluster --region SBG5 --version 1.32

  2. Using a configuration file:

First you can generate an example of installation file using the following command:

ovhcloud cloud managed-kubernetes create --init-file ./params.json

You will be able to choose from several examples of parameters. Once an example has been selected, the content is written in the given file. After editing the file to set the correct creation parameters, run:

ovhcloud cloud managed-kubernetes create --from-file ./params.json

Note that you can also pipe the content of the parameters file, like the following:

cat ./params.json | ovhcloud cloud managed-kubernetes create

In both cases, you can override the parameters in the given file using command line flags, for example:

ovhcloud cloud managed-kubernetes create --from-file ./params.json --name NameOverriden

3. Using your default text editor:

ovhcloud cloud managed-kubernetes create --editor

You will be able to choose from several examples of parameters. Once an example has been selected, the CLI will open your default text editor to update the parameters. When saving the file, the creation will start.

Note that it is also possible to override values in the presented examples using command line flags like the following:

ovhcloud cloud managed-kubernetes create --editor --region BHS5

ovhcloud cloud managed-kubernetes create [flags]
