Node Requirements

• You have at least two nodes(1 master, 1 worker) to create a cluster.
• 2 GB or more of RAM per node (any less will leave little room for your apps).
• 2 CPUs or more for control plane nodes.

• All nodes must have any of Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, RedHat and Amazon Linux operating systems. Also combination of multiple operating system for a single cluster is supported. For details click on List of supported operating systems.

  

SSH Requirements

• SSH access must be enabled to all your nodes from your PC where KubeKit is running.
• For password-less and SSH key(.pem,.ppk,etc) based access you need to enable sudo previliges. Click on How to enable sudo for detail instructions.

Network Requirements

• Full network connectivity between all nodes in the cluster (public or private network is fine).

Tips for a Smooth Cluster Creation

• Ensure package managers are up to date in all of your nodes. For Ubuntu and Debian run following command to update

  sudo apt-get update -y
  

  For Fedora,Redhat, CentOS and Amazon linux run following command to update

  sudo yum update -y
  

• Stable network connectivity in all nodes.
• Faster Internet speed ensures faster cluster creation.

By following these steps, you can create a stable, fully functional Kubernetes cluster with KubeKit, ready for application deployment and management.
