Cluster Management

First select Clusters:

Add a Cluster

Step 1

On the Clusters page click on the Add button top right. This will take you to the following screen:

Step 2

Follow the instructions to download and run the create-service.sh script making sure that your kubectl context is set to the correct target cluster. Then run the get-values.sh script:

Step 3

Complete the form choosing a meaningful name and copying the results of Step 2. In this case we are using doc-demo-cluster:

Step 4

Click the Activate button and you should see your cluster added to the list of available target clusters:

Interact with a Cluster

Once a cluster has been added to the list of target clusters you can interact with it using the four icons on the right. These allow you to:

• Deactivate a Cluster
• Edit a Cluster
• View a Cluster
• View a Cluster's Deployments

Deactivate a Cluster

Clicking the Deactivate button prompts you to confirm:

Important

You won't be able to do this if there are deployments associated with the target cluster you are trying to deactivate.

Complete this dialog with the correct cluster name:

Clicking Confirm completes the deactivation:

Note

At this point the only option available to you is now Delete, which has replaced Deactivate, and Edit.

Permanently Delete a Cluster

To permanently delete your cluster select Delete:

Then complete the dialog with the correct cluster name:

Warning

Clicking Confirm deletes the cluster permanently.

Reactivate a Cluster

Alternatively you can select Edit:

This takes you to the Edit page for this cluster:

At this point you can reactivate the cluster simply by hitting Save button without changing anything:

Return to Interact with a Cluster.

Edit a Cluster

Clicking the Edit button presents you with a form where you can, for example, change the name of the cluster. Here we've changed it to btp-demo-cluster and as a result it has been reactivated under this new name:

Return to Interact with a Cluster.

View a Cluster

Clicking the View button presents you with details of the cluster:

Add a Deployment (Shortcut)

This view also contains a shortcut that lets you Add a deployment without going to the Deployments page:

Note

This effectively takes you straight to create a deployment Step 3.

Audit Trail

However if you scroll down the View page for the cluster you can see the audit trail of all tasks associated with it:

Return to Interact with a Cluster.

View a Cluster's Deployments

Clicking the Deployments button lists the deployments associated with this cluster:

Note

This is effectively an alternative route to create a deployment Step 2.

Return to Interact with a Cluster.
