= Cluster API primary resources
|
|
|
|
The Cluster API consists of the following primary resources. For the Technology Preview of this feature, you must create some of these resources manually in the `openshift-cluster-api` namespace.
|
|
|
|
Cluster:: A fundamental unit that represents a cluster that is managed by the Cluster API.
|
|
|
|
Infrastructure cluster:: A provider-specific resource that defines properties that all of the compute machine sets in the cluster share, such as the region and subnets.
|
|
|
|
Machine template:: A provider-specific template that defines the properties of the machines that a compute machine set creates.
|
|
|
|
Machine set:: A group of machines.
|
|
+
|
|
Compute machine sets are to machines as replica sets are to pods.
|
|
To add machines or scale them down, change the `replicas` field on the compute machine set custom resource to meet your compute needs.
|
|
+
|
|
With the Cluster API, a compute machine set references a `Cluster` object and a provider-specific machine template.
|
|
|
|
Machine:: A fundamental unit that describes the host for a node.
|
|
+
|
|
The Cluster API creates machines based on the configuration in the machine template. |
