Cluster Creation Progress
Monitor the provisioning status and deployment progress of Kubernetes clusters after initiating creation through the Partner Portal.
Progress Monitoring Interface
After initiating cluster creation, the system displays a progress monitoring interface showing real-time provisioning status.
Initial Provisioning State
During initial cluster creation, the system displays:
Status Indicators
Cluster State
- Draft: Initial state during cluster provisioning
- The cluster will become accessible after all provisioning steps are finished
Component Status Cards
- Worker nodes status: Shows current node readiness (e.g., "0 of 0 Not Ready")
- Master status: Displays control plane readiness (e.g., "0 of 3 Not Ready")
- Ingress status: Indicates ingress controller provisioning state ("Not Ready" → "Provisioning")
Cluster Information Panel
The system provides detailed cluster information during creation:
- Cluster Name: As configured during setup
- Cluster ID: Unique identifier generated by the system
- Cluster State: Current provisioning state
- Creation Time: Timestamp of cluster creation initiation
- Kubernetes Version: Selected version (e.g., v1.32.0)
- Last Modified: Most recent update timestamp
- Resource Group: Associated resource group ID
- Zone: Deployment zone identifier
Provisioning Process
The cluster creation follows these stages:
- Initial State: Cluster enters "Draft" state with components showing "Not Ready"
- Component Provisioning: Master nodes, worker nodes, and ingress controller begin setup
- Progress Updates: Status indicators update in real-time as components become ready
- Completion: All components transition to "Ready" state when fully provisioned
Cluster Active State
Cluster status showing successful provisioning with master nodes healthy and cluster in Active state
Once provisioning completes successfully, the cluster status displays:
Status Updates
- Worker nodes status: Shows active nodes (e.g., "1 of 3 Warning" indicating partial readiness)
- Master status: Displays healthy control plane (e.g., "3 of 3 Healthy")
- Cluster State: Changes from "Draft" to "Active"
- Ingress status: May still show "Provisioning" as final components complete setup
Key Indicators of Successful Deployment
- Master nodes show "Healthy" status with full count
- Cluster State transitions to "Active"
- Download Kubeconfig button becomes available for cluster access
Common Status States
| Component | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cluster State | Draft | Initial provisioning in progress |
| Cluster State | Active | Cluster ready for use |
| Master Nodes | Not Ready | Control plane starting up |
| Master Nodes | Healthy | Control plane operational |
| Worker Nodes | Not Ready | Worker nodes initializing |
| Worker Nodes | Warning | Partial worker node readiness |
| Worker Nodes | Ready | All worker nodes operational |
| Ingress | Not Ready | Ingress controller starting |
| Ingress | Provisioning | Ingress controller configuring |
| Ingress | Ready | Ingress controller operational |
Monitoring Actions
- Refresh Status: Use the refresh button to update status displays
- Download Kubeconfig: Available once cluster reaches Active state
- View Details: Click "Details" links for component-specific information
Troubleshooting Provisioning Issues
If cluster creation encounters issues:
- Check Resource Availability: Ensure sufficient resources in the selected resource group
- Verify Network Configuration: Confirm CIDR ranges and subnet settings
- Review Error Messages: Check component details for specific error information
- Contact Support: Use the support portal for persistent provisioning failures
Next Steps
Once the cluster reaches Active state:
- Download Kubeconfig - Set up kubectl access
- View Cluster Overview - Monitor cluster health and status
- Scale NodeGroups - Adjust cluster capacity as needed
- Monitor Performance - Track cluster metrics
