Creating Clusters on Bare Metal

This document explains how to create Kubernetes clusters on physical servers using the bare-metal provider. The workflow is YAML-only — there is no Fleet Essentials UI for bare-metal clusters at this time.

Prerequisites

Before creating clusters, ensure all of the following prerequisites are met.

1. Required Plugin Installation

Install the following plugins on the global cluster:

  • Alauda Container Platform Kubeadm Provider
  • Alauda Container Platform Bare Metal Infrastructure Provider (umbrella chart that installs both the bare-metal manager and elemental-operator)

See the Installation Guide for details.

2. Image Catalog Confirmed

The bare-metal provider chart ships an elemental-image-catalog ConfigMap that maps Machine.spec.version to the elemental upgrade image used to (re)provision a node. You do not need to create this ConfigMap separately — confirm that the target Kubernetes version is present:

kubectl -n cpaas-system get configmap elemental-image-catalog -o yaml

Every value used as Machine.spec.version (for both the control plane and worker MachineDeployment resources) must appear as a key in this ConfigMap, with the leading v preserved. The provider resolves the image at reprovision time by substituting the platform registry address for the registry portion of the entry. If a target version is missing, no reprovision plan is written and BaremetalMachine ends up in Failed / Reason=ImageCatalogMiss until the entry is added.

3. Network Connectivity

  • Every physical host must be able to reach global.platformUrl (elemental-system-agent registration, plan secret polling).
  • Every physical host must be able to pull from the platform registry (global.registry.address) for both elemental install (during the first boot) and elemental upgrade (during every reprovision).
  • The control-plane VIP must live in the same Layer-2 broadcast domain as the control-plane node IPs. The vrid chosen for the VIP must be unique within that broadcast domain.

4. TPM Decision

Production hosts should keep MachineRegistration.spec.config.elemental.registration.emulate-tpm: false (or remove the field). For PoC and virtual-machine smoke tests, set emulate-tpm: true and emulated-tpm-seed: -1 so registration works without a real TPM.

5. Public Registry Credential (Only When Installing Platform Components Later)

public-registry-credential is not required to create a bare-metal cluster. It only becomes necessary when later platform components on the new workload cluster need to pull from a credentialed public registry. If your test scope ends at cluster + node Ready, you can ignore this prerequisite.

Cluster Creation Workflow

When using YAML, the workflow proceeds through five steps. Every step must be applied in the cpaas-system namespace.

1. MachineRegistration + SeedImage           ─►  Build the bootable ISO
2. Boot the ISO on each host                 ─►  elemental install + register MachineInventory
3. MachineInventoryPool (per role)           ─►  Pre-declare the allowed inventories
4. BaremetalCluster + BaremetalMachineTemplate + KubeadmControlPlane + Cluster
5. KubeadmConfigTemplate + worker BaremetalMachineTemplate + MachineDeployment
WARNING

Important Namespace Requirement

All bare-metal resources must be applied in the cpaas-system namespace. The provider and elemental-operator only reconcile objects in that namespace.

WARNING

Workload Cluster Naming

The workload cluster-name must not be global. That name is reserved for the global cluster, and reusing it causes the workload cluster's resources to collide with global cluster resources in cpaas-system. As a convention, keep the CAPI Cluster and BaremetalCluster named exactly <cluster-name>, and prefix dependent resources (KubeadmControlPlane, KubeadmConfigTemplate, MachineDeployment, machine templates, pools, registrations) with <cluster-name>-.

Resolving Placeholder Values

The example manifests below use <placeholder> syntax for environment-specific values:

PlaceholderSource of truthHow to retrieve
<kubernetes-version>elemental-image-catalog ConfigMap key (with leading v, for example v1.33.7-2).kubectl -n cpaas-system get cm elemental-image-catalog -o yaml
<base-image-iso>Same ConfigMap entry, with -iso appended to the repository. Tag/digest matches the catalog value.See the SeedImage step.
<registry-address>Platform registry (same value as global.registry.address on the install chart).kubectl get cluster global -n cpaas-system -o jsonpath='{.metadata.annotations.cpaas\.io/registry-address}' (when one exists).
<control-plane-vip> / <control-plane-port> / <vrid>Operator-supplied. The VIP must be free in the control-plane Layer-2 domain; <vrid> must be unique in that domain.n/a

<pods-cidr> / <services-cidr> / <kube-ovn-join-cidr>Operator-supplied. Must not overlap with the host network, the global cluster's CIDRs, or any other CAPI cluster on the same global.n/a

Step 1: Build the SeedImage and Register Hosts

Create a MachineRegistration that describes the registration URL and first-install cloud-config, and a SeedImage that points elemental-operator at the matching ISO base image.

SeedImage.spec.baseImage is derived from the image catalog entry for the target Kubernetes version: take the catalog repository, append -iso, and keep the same tag or digest. For example, if elemental-image-catalog resolves v1.33.7-2 to <registry-address>/tkestack/baremetal-base-image:v0.0.0-beta-1.33.7-2, then SeedImage.spec.baseImage is <registry-address>/tkestack/baremetal-base-image-iso:v0.0.0-beta-1.33.7-2.

            partitions:
              state:
                size: 20480

Apply the manifest and wait for the SeedImage build to finish:

kubectl apply -f 01-machineregistration-seedimage.yaml
kubectl -n cpaas-system get seedimage <cluster-name>-registration-iso -w

When status.state reaches Completed, fetch the download URL and ISO checksum:

kubectl -n cpaas-system get seedimage <cluster-name>-registration-iso \
  -o jsonpath='{.status.downloadURL}{"\n"}'
kubectl -n cpaas-system get seedimage <cluster-name>-registration-iso \
  -o jsonpath='{.status.checksumURL}{"\n"}'

Boot every target host from this ISO. elemental-register runs first (creates the MachineInventory and uploads observedNetwork), then elemental install writes the on-disk OS. After install completes, the host stays available for plan execution.

Confirm registration:

kubectl -n cpaas-system get machineinventories.elemental.cattle.io

Every inventory you intend to use must:

  • Show Ready=True.
  • Have a non-empty status.plan.secretRef.name.
  • Have a spec.observedNetwork that matches the host's expected NIC (only required when you want the install-time IP to survive across reprovisions).

Record the exact MachineInventory names — they are referenced by name in the next step.

Step 2: Create MachineInventoryPool Resources

Create one pool per role. The pool reconciler validates that every member exists, computes capacity counters, and writes the baremetal.alauda.io/pool=<pool-name> annotation onto the inventory.

02-machineinventorypool.yaml
apiVersion: infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: MachineInventoryPool
metadata:
  name: <cluster-name>-control-plane-pool
  namespace: cpaas-system
spec:
  clusterName: <cluster-name>
  machineInventories:
    - name: <control-plane-inventory-1>
      hostname: <control-plane-host-1>    # Optional; falls back to the inventory name.
    - name: <control-plane-inventory-2>
      hostname: <control-plane-host-2>
    - name: <control-plane-inventory-3>
      hostname: <control-plane-host-3>
---
apiVersion: infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: MachineInventoryPool
metadata:
  name: <cluster-name>-worker-pool
  namespace: cpaas-system
spec:
  clusterName: <cluster-name>
  machineInventories:
    - name: <worker-inventory-1>
      hostname: <worker-host-1>
    - name: <worker-inventory-2>
    - name: <worker-inventory-3>

Key parameters:

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
.spec.clusterNamestringThe workload cluster name this pool serves. A MachineInventory must not appear in two active pools.Yes
.spec.machineInventories[].namestringExact name of a registered MachineInventory.Yes
.spec.machineInventories[].hostnamestringHostname applied during reprovision. Defaults to the inventory name when omitted.No

Apply and verify:

kubectl apply -f 02-machineinventorypool.yaml
kubectl -n cpaas-system get machineinventorypools.infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io

A healthy pool reports Ready=True, total = len(spec.machineInventories), and available = total - allocated - preparing - reprovisioning - unavailable. Inventories listed in spec.machineInventories that fail validation (missing, plan secret missing, Ready=False) raise the pool's unavailable counter and surface in the MembersValid condition.

Size the control-plane pool to at least KubeadmControlPlane.spec.replicas. Size the worker pool to at least MachineDeployment.spec.replicas. For rolling upgrades the pool must hold the entire replica count — the provider uses delete-then-add semantics from the same pool, never both at once.

Step 3: Create the Control-Plane Cluster Resources

Create the BaremetalCluster (declares the control-plane VIP), the control-plane BaremetalMachineTemplate (points at the control-plane pool), the KubeadmControlPlane (replicas + kubeadm config), and the CAPI Cluster.

Cluster annotations. The bare-metal provider relies on a small set of Cluster annotations during reconcile. Authoritative ones the operator must set:

BaremetalCluster parameters:

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
.spec.controlPlaneLoadBalancer.typestring (Internal / External)Internal deploys alive static pods on the control-plane nodes and manages the VIP. External skips alive and assumes an external LB already terminates <control-plane-vip>:<control-plane-port>.No (defaults to Internal)
.spec.controlPlaneLoadBalancer.hoststringControl-plane VIP. Backfilled into .spec.controlPlaneEndpoint.host when the endpoint is left empty.Yes
.spec.controlPlaneLoadBalancer.portint (1–65535)Control-plane port. Typically 6443.Yes
.spec.controlPlaneLoadBalancer.vridint (0–255)keepalived virtual_router_id. Must be unique in the control-plane Layer-2 domain. Only consumed when type=Internal.When type=Internal

.spec.networkTypestringCNI hint. kube-ovn today (Phase-1 metadata only).No

Apply and watch:

kubectl apply -f 03-cluster.yaml
kubectl -n cpaas-system get clusters.cluster.x-k8s.io
kubectl -n cpaas-system get kubeadmcontrolplanes.controlplane.cluster.x-k8s.io
kubectl -n cpaas-system get baremetalmachines.infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io -w

Each new control-plane BaremetalMachine advances Pending → Allocated → Reprovisioning → Running. Watch:

  • BaremetalMachine.status.machineInventoryRef.name — which inventory was picked.
  • BaremetalMachine.status.planSecretRef.name — plan secret being driven. The secret carries baremetal.alauda.io/plan.type=reprovision.
  • MachineInventory.status.plan.state — Applied once the host completes cloud-init clean, elemental upgrade, reboot, and kubeadm init/join.
  • BaremetalCluster.status.conditions[EndpointReady] — true once the VIP is reachable.
WARNING

The bare-metal provider does not support single-node control planes. Provision at least three control-plane replicas (KubeadmControlPlane.spec.replicas: 3) so that alive can arbitrate the VIP and etcd retains quorum.

Step 4: Deploy Worker Nodes

After the control plane is Ready, create the worker BaremetalMachineTemplate, the worker KubeadmConfigTemplate, and the MachineDeployment. The full worker YAML and parameter table are in Managing Nodes on Bare Metal → Worker Node Deployment.

Cluster Verification

Using kubectl

# Cluster status
kubectl -n cpaas-system get cluster <cluster-name>

# Control plane progress
kubectl -n cpaas-system get kubeadmcontrolplane <cluster-name>-control-plane

# Per-machine state
kubectl -n cpaas-system get machines.cluster.x-k8s.io
kubectl -n cpaas-system get baremetalmachines.infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io

# Pool counters
kubectl -n cpaas-system get machineinventorypools.infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io

# Workload cluster Nodes (use the workload kubeconfig)
kubectl get nodes -o wide

Expected Results

A successfully created cluster shows:

  • Cluster.status.conditions[Ready]=True.
  • KubeadmControlPlane replicas all Ready.
  • Every BaremetalMachine.status.phase=Running and status.ready=true.
  • Every used MachineInventory.status.plan.state=Applied with baremetal.alauda.io/plan.type=reprovision on its plan secret.
  • MachineInventoryPool.status satisfies available + allocated + preparing + reprovisioning + unavailable = total.
  • Kubernetes Nodes Ready.
