Create a node pool for your Kubernetes cluster provisioned through VMware Tanzu Mission Control.
For clusters that you create in Tanzu Mission Control, you can define a pool of worker nodes on which your workloads can run. Because Tanzu Mission Control cannot provision additional resources in a cluster that is created elsewhere and subsequently attached, you cannot create a node pool in an attached cluster.
This procedure describes how to create a node pool for an existing provisioned cluster. You can also define a node pool when creating a cluster, and the steps are essentially the same.
Prerequisites
Before you start this procedure, log in to the
Tanzu Mission Control console and make sure you have the appropriate permissions.
- To define a node pool, you must be associated with the cluster.edit role for the cluster.
- To create a cluster, you must also be associated with the clustergroup.edit role for the cluster group.
Procedure
Results
When you click Save, Tanzu Mission Control provisions the necessary resources and then launches the requested nodes.
