OCI Components

Describes the components created in OCI when you create a Kubernetes cluster using the oci provider.

You can sign in to the OCI console to view the cluster components that are created. The components created or used are:
  • An Object Storage bucket named ocne-images, or another existing bucket set in a configuration file.

  • OCK images are stored in the Object Storage bucket and named ocne_boot.qcow2-kube_version-arm64.oci, by default. They're tagged with the architecture to which they apply.

  • The OCK bootable compute images are named ock, by default, and copied to the Custom Images area to use when creating instances.

  • A Virtual cloud network (VCN) is created and configured for the cluster. The VCN is named using the cluster name.

  • A Network load balancer is created using the format clustername-apiserver. A listener is created for the Kubernetes API Server on TCP port 6443. Backend sets are created and include the control plane nodes.

  • Compute instances are created using the bootable OCK custom image for the architecture of the instance. The instances use the naming format of clustername-md-random_string for worker nodes, and clustername-control-plane-random_string for control plane nodes.
