Scaleway kapsule

Creating a Scaleway Kapsule Cluster

1. Click on Scaleway as hosting mode and then Qovery Managed option:

   

   In the Create Cluster window enter:

   • Cluster name: enter the name of your choice for your cluster.
   • Description: enter a description to identify better your cluster.
   • Production cluster: select this option if your cluster will be used for production.
   • Region: select the geographical area in which you want your cluster to be hosted.
   • Credentials: select one of the existing cloud provider credentials or add a new one by clicking on New Credentials. In the New credentials window, add the credentials that you have generated on your cloud provider console (Procedure for Scaleway account). Added credentials can be used later to create and manage additional cluster.

   To confirm, click Next.

2. In the Set Resources window, select:

   • Instance type: select the type of worker nodes you want to deploy to your cluster.
   • Disk size: select the size of the disks to be attached to your cluster instances (to locally store container images etc..).
   • Node auto-scaling: define the minimum and the maximum number of worker nodes that your cluster can run. The lowest number is the number of worker nodes running on your infrastructure at any time, while the highest number is the maximum number of worker nodes that can automatically be deployed as traffic grows. Please note that a minimum of 3 worker nodes is required to deploy your EKS cluster.
   
   
   Instance type selection from your Qovery Console has direct consequences on your cloud provider’s bill. While Qovery allows you to switch to a different instance type whenever you want, it is your sole responsibility to keep an eye on your infrastructure costs, especially when you want to upsize.

   Please be aware that changing the instance type or disk size might cause a downtime for your service.

   For more information on the instance types provided by each cloud provider and their associated pricing, see What are the different instance types available when creating a cluster?

   Also, before downsizing, you need to ensure that your applications will still have enough resources to run correctly.

   
   

   To confirm, click Next.

3. In the Ready to install your cluster window, check that the services needed to install your cluster are correct.

   You can now press the Create and Install button.

   Your cluster is now displayed in your organization settings, featuring the Installing... status (orange status). Once your cluster is properly installed, its status turns to green and you will be able to deploy your applications on it.

   You can follow the execution of the action via the cluster status and/or by accessing the Cluster Logs

Below you can find a description of each section

General

The General tab allows you to define high-level information on your cluster:

Item	Description
Cluster Name	To edit the name of your cluster.
Description	To enter or edit the description of your cluster.
Production Cluster	To enter or edit the production flag of your cluster.

Credentials

Here you can manage here the cloud provider credentials associated with your cluster.

If you need to change the credentials:

• generate a new set of credentials on your cloud provider(Procedure for Scaleway account)
• create the new credential on the Qovery by opening the drop-down and selecting "New Credentials"

Once created and associated, you need to updating your cluster to apply the change.

Image registry

In this tab, you will see that a container registry already exist (called registry-{$UIID}). This is your cloud provider container registry used by Qovery to manage the deployment of your applications by mirroring the docker images.

The credentials configured on this registry are the one used to create the cluster. But you can still update them if you prefer to manage them separately (dedicated pair of creds just to access the registry).
