Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE): Day-two operations. How to get a Kubeconfig file?

The Kubeconfig file contains information needed to connect to the Kubernetes cluster. In this article, we will look at how to get a Kubeconfig file to connect to the NKE-deployed Kubernetes clusters.

Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE): Day-two operations. Enabling Advanced Kubernetes Management

Advanced Kubernetes Management is a feature of the NKE that provides extra visibility for Kubernetes clusters in the Prism Central interface. It allows you to get information about deployed resources in clusters in a pretty simple manner.

In this article, we will look at how to enable and use the Advanced Kubernetes Management feature.

Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE): Day-two operations. Updating Kubernetes and OS image versions.

This is the third article in the NKE series. Before, I wrote about how to deploy Kubernetes clusters using NKE and how to add or remove workers.

In this article, we will cover update procedures and look at how easily we can update the host OS version and Kubernetes using NKE.

Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE): Day-two operations. Scaling up and Shrinking Kubernetes Clusters.

Previously, I wrote about deploying Kubernetes clusters using the Nutanix Kubernetes Engine.

The next few articles will cover the day-two operations that make managing Kubernetes clusters easier.

Today we will look at how to expand a Kubernetes cluster or how to shrink it using NKE.

Deploying Kubernetes clusters using Nutanix Kubernetes Engine on Nutanix Community Edition

Nutanix Kubernetes Engine, or NKE (formerly Karbon), is a solution to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters in a Nutanix infrastructure.

With NKE, we can deploy Kubernetes clusters, upgrade them, add or remove workers, configure RBAC based on Prism Central, and more in a pretty simple way.

The purpose of this article is to provide a walkthrough on how to prepare a Nutanix cluster for use with NKE and how to deploy a Kubernetes cluster.
