You can call the CreateCluster operation to create a managed edge Kubernetes cluster.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

The Kubernetes version of the cluster. The Kubernetes versions provided by Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) are consistent with the open source Kubernetes versions. We recommend that you select the latest Kubernetes version. If you do not specify this parameter, the latest Kubernetes version is used.

You can create clusters of the latest two Kubernetes versions in the ACK console. You can create ACK clusters of earlier Kubernetes versions by calling API operations. For more information about the Kubernetes versions supported by ACK, see Overview of Kubernetes versions supported by ACK.

key_pair String Yes demo-key The name of the key pair. You must set this parameter or the login_password parameter.
login_password String Yes HelloWorld123 The password for SSH logon. You must set this parameter or the key_pair parameter. The password must be 8 to 30 characters in length, and must contain at least three of the following character types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters.
num_of_nodes Long Yes 1 The number of worker nodes that you want to create. Valid values: 0 to 100.
profile String Yes Edge Specifies whether the cluster to be created is an edge Kubernetes cluster. Default value: Edge.

Enables Log Service for the cluster. This parameter takes effect only for serverless Kubernetes (ASK) clusters. Set the value to SLS.

snat_entry Boolean No true

Specifies whether to configure Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) rules for the virtual private cloud (VPC) where the cluster is deployed.

  • If the VPC supports Internet access, set the value to false.
  • If the VPC does not support Internet access, valid values are:
    • true: configures SNAT rules. This enables Internet access for the cluster.
    • false: does not configure SNAT rules. In this case, the cluster cannot access the Internet.

If your applications deployed in the cluster need to access the Internet, we recommend that you set the value to true.

Default value: false.

  • true: enables Internet access for the API server.
  • false: disables Internet access for the API server. The API server is accessible only within the internal network.

Default value: true.

Notice Edge nodes interact with controller components in the cloud over the Internet. Therefore, you must enable Internet access for the API server when you create a managed edge Kubernetes cluster.
service_cidr String Yes 172.21.0.0

The CIDR block of Services. This CIDR block cannot overlap with the CIDR block of the VPC in which the cluster is deployed or the CIDR block of pods. If the VPC is automatically created by the system, the CIDR block of Services is set to 172.19.0.0/20 by default.
