Cluster configuration

Review cluster configuration settings defined in the cluster.yaml file

As discussed in the Quick start, Install, and Upgrade sections, the cluster.yaml file defines all of the key settings that are used to create and customize a Konvoy cluster. Therefore, you should be familiar with this file and its configuration options before attempting to modify a deployed cluster or provision a customized cluster.

The cluster.yaml file is composed of two different configuration kinds. In Kubernetes, a kind identifies the name of a specific Kubernetes resource. For Konvoy, the cluster.yaml file defines the following configuration resource kinds:

  • ClusterConfiguration - This section is required because it contains cluster-specific details that must be provided to create a cluster.
  • ClusterProvisioner - This section is optional because it is contains provider-specific details that are dependent on your deployment infrastructure. For example, this section is not required if you are installing on an internal (on-prem) network.

In addition to the cluster.yaml file, Konvoy clusters require you to have an inventory.yaml file. For information about the format and settings in an inventory.yaml file, see Working with inventory files.

Sample cluster configuration file

The following example illustrates the contents of a cluster.yaml file with both the ClusterProvisioner and ClusterConfiguration sections defined. In this example, the cluster.yaml file specifies AWS as the public cloud provisioner:
