You can add the nodes to a node pool. This allows you to manage multiple nodes as a group. For example, you can manage the labels and taints that are added to the nodes in the node pool. This topic describes how to create a node pool in the Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) console.
Prerequisites
- An ACK cluster is created. For more information, see Create a managed kubernetes cluster.
- The ACK cluster must run Kubernetes 1.9 or later.
Notice
- By default, you can deploy up to 100 nodes in each cluster. To increase the quota, click Submit a ticket to submit a ticket.
- Before you add an existing ECS instance that is deployed in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network, make sure that an elastic IP address is assigned to the ECS instance, or a Network Address Translation (NAT) gateway is created in the same VPC network for the ECS instance. In addition, you must make sure that the node has access to the Internet. Otherwise, you may fail to add the ECS instance.
