How to Create a Kubernetes Cluster on DigitalOcean

Kubernetes Cluster Creation on DigitalOcean

To create a Kubernetes cluster:

  • From the Create menu in the control panel, click Kubernetes.
  • Select a Kubernetes version. The latest version is selected by default and is the best choice if you have no specific need for an earlier version.
  • Choose a data center region.
  • Customize the default node pool, choose the node pool names, and add additional node pools.
  • Name the cluster, select the project you want the cluster to belong to, and optionally add a tag. Any tags you choose will be applied to the cluster and its worker nodes.
  • Click Create Cluster. Provisioning the cluster takes several minutes.

Now it's time to deploy an application on the Kubernetes cluster. As a suggestion, you can use Ant Media Server an Ultra-low latency WebRTC live streaming engine.
