Lab Overview

• Minimum of 7 Oracle Linux instances for the Oracle Cloud Native Environment cluster:

  • Operator node
  • 3 Kubernetes control plane nodes
  • 3 Kubernetes worker nodes

• Each system should have Oracle Linux installed and configured with:

  • An Oracle user account (used during the installation) with sudo access
  • Key-based SSH, also known as password-less SSH, between the hosts
  • Prerequisites for Oracle Cloud Native Environment

• Additional requirements include:

  • A virtual IP address for the primary control plane node.

    • Do not use this IP address on any of the nodes.

    • The load balancer dynamically sets the IP address to the control plane node assigned as the primary controller.

      Note: If you are deploying to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, your tenancy requires enabling a new feature introduced in OCI: Layer 2 Networking for VLANs within your virtual cloud networks (VCNs). The OCI Layer 2 Networking feature is not generally available, although the free lab environment's tenancy enables this feature.
      
      If you have a use case, please work with your technical team to get your tenancy listed to use this feature.
