Kubernetes
An introduction to K.N managed K3s Early Access.
K3s Early Access
K.N provides a lightweight managed K3s experience for eligible accounts. Early Access features may change as reliability and operations improve.
Three-node foundation
A new cluster starts with three managed nodes. K.N prepares the nodes, installs the K3s server, joins the remaining nodes and waits for the cluster to become Active.
During provisioning
Keep the page open if convenient, but do not submit another cluster while creation is in progress. The status will advance through preparation, installation and readiness stages.
Cluster lifecycle
Manage cluster nodes from the Kubernetes page rather than treating them as independent Instances. Review the cluster state before adding nodes or changing workloads.
