Create an FKS cluster
Fly Kubernetes is in beta and not recommended for critical production usage. To report issues or provide feedback, email us at beta@fly.io.
To create a Kubernetes cluster, run:
fly ext k8s create [--name <name> | --org <org> | --region <region>]
Once a cluster is provisioned, it will return a kubeconfig that can be used to connect to your cluster’s Kubernetes API server using kubectl.
For example:
apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- name: fks-flyio-fksdemo
cluster:
certificate-authority-data: ...
server: https://fks-flyio-fksdemo.flycast:6443
extensions:
...
...
contexts:
- context:
cluster: fks-flyio-fksdemo
user: default
name: default
current-context: default
kind: Config
preferences: {}
users:
- name: default
user:
...
...
Your cluster is accessible over your organization’s private WireGuard network. To connect to your cluster, you need a WireGuard configuration.
Follow the Private Network VPN instructions to set up a permanent WireGuard connection to your Fly.io IPv6 private network.
Once set up, you can use kubectl:
> kubectl get ns
NAME STATUS AGE
kube-public Active 22d
kube-node-lease Active 22d
default Active 22d
kube-system Active 22d
