How to create a Kubernetes Kapsule clusterReviewed on August 05, 2025
Scaleway Kubernetes Kapsule provides a managed environment for creating, configuring, and operating a cluster of preconfigured nodes for containerized applications. This service allows you to deploy Kubernetes clusters without the complexity of managing the underlying infrastructure.
Key benefits include:
- Dynamic scaling of pods based on workload demands.
- Simplified cluster management via kubectl, the Kubernetes command-line tool.
To facilitate cluster administration, Scaleway provides a .kubeconfig
file, enabling you to manage your cluster locally using kubectl
. This tool is essential for executing commands against Kubernetes clusters.
Before you start
To complete the actions presented below, you must have:
- A Scaleway account with access to the console
- Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
Cluster configuration
- Navigate to Kubernetes under the Containers section of the Scaleway console side menu. The Kubernetes dashboard displays.
- From the drop-down menu, select the geographical region where you want to create your cluster.
- Click Create cluster to launch the cluster creation wizard.
- On the cluster configuration page, provide the following details:
- Enter the cluster's details. Provide a name for the cluster. Optionally, you can add a description and tags for better organization.
- Configure the Private Network for the cluster to ensure secure and isolated network communication. Each cluster is auto-configured with a /22 IP subnet. Click Select Private Network to:
- Attach an existing Private Network (VPC) within the same Availability Zone from the drop-down menu.
- Attach a new Private Network to the cluster.
Important
The Private Network cannot be detached, and the cluster cannot be moved to another Private Network post-creation.
- Click Configure pools to proceed.
Pool configuration
This section outlines the settings for your cluster pools. You can configure as many pools for your cluster as you require.
- Configure the following for each pool:
- Choose an Availability Zone for the pool's nodes.
- Select the node type for the pool.
- Configure the system volume. This volume contains the operating system of the nodes in your pool.
- Configure pool options, including node count and whether to enable autoscaling. Options also include enabling autoheal and linking to a placement group, or you can retain default settings.
- Enable full isolation, if required.
- Click Add pool to integrate the pool into the cluster.
- To add more pools, click Expand and repeat the steps above. Tip
You can add or remove pools as needed before finalizing your cluster configuration. To remove a pool, click Remove within the respective pool.
- Once all pools are configured, click Review to finalize your cluster setup.
Review configuration
- Review the configuration details of your Kubernetes cluster and its pools. Tip
To modify any element, click the edit icon Edit icon next to the respective configuration component.
- Click Create cluster to deploy your cluster. Once deployment is complete, the cluster appears in the clusters list.
