Overview

Turn your Kubernetes cluster into a BYOK location by enabling the CPLN Platform add-on. This allows you to use the Control Plane Platform to manage the cluster.

​
How to Enable

The CPLN Platform add-on can be enabled for your Kubernetes cluster either during the cluster creation process or at any time thereafter. The following sections outline the methods for enabling the add-on:

​
At Cluster Creation

  • Through Cluster Manifest: Add the following snippet to your cluster manifest when creating the cluster:
    YAML
    spec:
  ...
  addOns:
    byok: {
      location: //location/<your-location>
    }
  ...
  • Using the Console: If you’re creating the cluster through the console, navigate to Add-ons, find the CPLN Platform add-on in the list of available add-ons, and toggle it on.

​
After Cluster Creation

If the CPLN Platform add-on was not enabled during the cluster creation, you can still enable it using either method.

​
Notes

  • The location field is required and must be set to a valid CPLN BYOK location.
  • You CANNOT change the location field after it has been set
