Create Elastic Node Pool
INFO
To learn about Elastic Node Pools and the provider/consumer model, see Elastic Node Pools.
An Elastic Node Pool creates virtual Kubernetes worker nodes from an Elastic Quota and joins them to a Cluster.
Prerequisites
- An Elastic Quota allocated to your organization
- A Cluster to join the virtual nodes to
Create a Node Pool
- Navigate to your Cluster → Elastic Node Pools → Create Elastic Node Pool
- Configure the properties:
| Property | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Name | A unique name for this Node Pool (cannot be changed later) | Yes |
| Elastic Quota | The Share to draw resources from (cannot be changed later) | Yes |
| Kubernetes Version | The Kubernetes version for the virtual nodes | Yes |
| Node Count | Number of virtual worker nodes | Yes |
| Cores | CPU cores per node | Yes |
| Memory (MB) | Memory per node in MB | Yes |
| Disk (GB) | Disk space per node in GB | Yes |
- Click Create Elastic Node Pool
The total resource consumption (node count × node shape) must fit within the Quota's remaining capacity. Monitor the operation progress — once the Node Pool is ready, the virtual nodes appear as worker nodes in your Cluster.
