Cluster Detail page

The cluster detail page is the central place for managing an individual cluster. It is organised into the following top-level tabs:

• Cluster — cluster information, node pools, patching, settings, upgrade history and add-ons.
• Networking — network settings, load balancers and firewalling.
• Storage — persistent storage configuration.
• Observability — metrics, logs and alerts for the cluster.
• Audit — audit log for actions performed on the cluster.

Cluster

The Cluster tab is divided into six sub-tabs.

Overview

The Overview shows the most relevant information about the cluster at a glance:

• Cluster information — Kubernetes version (with a link to its release notes), creation date, identity, region and cloud account, allocated cores and memory, and current status. The three-dot menu in the top-right corner contains the option to delete the cluster.
• Node pools — a summary of the node pools in the cluster (name, type, number of nodes and zone). Use Manage node pools to jump to the Node Pools sub-tab.
• Kubeconfig — instructions and commands for connecting to the cluster with the acloud CLI, with options to download a kubeconfig file or install it locally.
• Recent activity — the latest lifecycle and reconciliation events for the cluster. Use View all to see the full activity log.
• Resource Utilization (Experimental) — recent CPU and memory usage across all nodes in the cluster. As an experimental feature this section may change without notice.

Node Pools

Manage the node pools in the cluster, including their type, size, autoscaling, labels, taints and annotations. See Node Pools for the full reference.

Patching

Configure the cluster's patching behaviour, such as the maintenance window and patch policy. See Lifecycle Policy and Upgrades for the full reference.

Settings

Configure cluster-wide options:

• Highly available control-plane — run multiple control-plane replicas for resilience.
• Pod Security Standards — see Pod Security Standards.
• Multi availability zones — spread resources across availability zones.
• Auto upgrade — see Auto Upgrade.
• Delete protection — prevent accidental deletion of the cluster.

Upgrade history

A chronological log of AME upgrades that have been applied to the cluster. See Upgrades for background on how upgrades are performed.

Add-ons

Enable and configure additional services for the cluster, such as monitoring, logging and the managed ingress controller. See Add-ons for the available add-ons.

Networking

The Networking tab contains the cluster's network settings, load balancers and firewalling. Firewalling lets you install default network policies and restrict API server access by IP.

Storage

The Storage tab manages the cluster's persistent storage configuration.

Observability

The Observability tab gives access to metrics, log management and alerting for the cluster.

Audit

The Audit tab shows an audit log of actions performed on the cluster. See Audit Logging for what is recorded and how to use it.

Deleting a cluster

To delete a cluster, open the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the cluster information card on the Overview tab and select Delete. A confirmation modal appears asking you to type the cluster name. If delete protection is enabled, disable it first under Cluster > Settings.
