From Login to production Cluster

I am new in Taikun and I want to create Kubernetes cluster for my application. This is the way how to

If you are completely new to Taikun, you will receive an invitation to your organization. First you need to reset your password (through Visit button in received mail) and then you are redirected right to Taikun login page. By filling E-mail and newly created Password, you will login to Taikun. First page you see is Dashboard of your organization.

If Keycloak is set for your organization, you can use it to login.

If you forget your password, you can reset it.

See how to change your password here and how to change your e-mail here.

Add Cloud Credentials

Before you can create your own project, you have to add a cloud. Now you can choose from OpenStack, AWS or Azure.

You just have to fill in correct credentials from your account and Taikun will connect with them.

OpenStack

Before connecting the openstack cloud, you have to fulfill the requirements.

If you have trouble adding openstack credentials, see how fill the fields and where to find credentials.

AWS

If you have trouble adding AWS credentials, see how fill the fields and where to find credentials.

Azure

Before connecting the cloud you have to create application registration with commands.

If you have trouble adding AWS credentials, see how fill the fields (at the bottom of the page) and where to find credentials.

Project Creation

After you have successfully added cloud credentials, you can add a project! During project creation, you can choose a lot of features.

In Access Profile, Alerting Profile and Kubernetes Profile you have by default option default. These profiles are created with new organization creation. You can also create a new profile and then choose from drop-down selection. If you want to enable backup, you have to add backup credentials first.

ACCESS PROFILE

If you want to use your access profile in a project, you have to create it BEFORE and choose it from drop down selection DURING project creation.

After the project is CREATED you CANNOT ADD ACCESS PROFILE.

Project can be created only by manager or partner, who then has to assign the project to the user (if they want them to have access to the project).

More information about project creation for Manager and Partner.

Creating a Cluster

For a functional cluster you need one bastion, at least one kubemaster and at least one kubeworker.

Recommendation for sizing:

bastion recommended 2 vCPU + 2GB of RAM
masters recommended 4 vCPU + 8GB of RAM

You can add and delete servers until you are satisfied with the cluster, then you can commit (under Actions drop-down).

You can updated almost all the features either directly from Project Details (User, Manager, Partner) like enable backup, enable/disable monitoring, attach/detach alerting profile or under specific tabs like updating Access Profile, Kubernetes Profile.

Please keep in mind that some changes need Repair, which takes some time (e.g. updating Access Profile).
