Kubernetes Engine FAQs

What are Kubernetes Engine and Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is an open-source tool that helps automate the management, deployment, and scaling of containerized applications. Kubernetes Engine is a service that allows you to create a Kubernetes cluster quickly within minutes without having to understand the installation and configuration details.

Additionally, Kubernetes Engine frees you from cluster operation tasks such as troubleshooting, version upgrades, or cluster scaling.

Does Kubernetes Engine support Persistent Volumes and Load Balancers?

Yes, we have fully integrated with the Cloud ecosystem. When using these two types of resources, you will see them appear as a Volume in Bizfly Cloud Server service or a Load Balancer in Bizfly Load Balancer service.

Can workers in my cluster have different configurations?

Yes, you can create node pools with different configurations. Each cluster can have multiple node pools.

What operating system do the workers use?

Currently, the workers use Ubuntu 18.04 as their operating system.

Does Kubernetes Engine support multi-region / multi-zone clusters?

Kubernetes Engine allows you to choose the zone when creating a node pool, which means you can have a multi-zone cluster when creating a cluster with 2 or more node pools and selecting different zone values for them.

However, we do not support multi-region clusters.

How can I SSH into a worker node?

When creating a cluster (or adding a new node pool), Kubernetes Engine will use the first SSH key in your account. If there are no SSH keys, you can use the password reset feature to receive access credentials.

Additionally, worker nodes are by default attached to a firewall that blocks all external access. You’ll need to open the SSH access port by updating the firewall rules in the firewall management area of the Bizfly Cloud Server service.

Can I upgrade the version of my cluster?

Currently, the version upgrade feature is under development, so you won’t be able to do this yet.
