Installing the CoreProvider

Any existing namespace could be utilized for providers in the Kubernetes cluster. However, before creating a provider object, make sure the specified namespace has been created. In the example below, we use the capi-system namespace. To create this namespace through either the Command Line Interface (CLI) by running kubectl create namespace capi-system, or the declarative approach described in the official Kubernetes documentation could be used.

note

Only one CoreProvider can be installed at the same time on a single cluster.

Option 1: CAPIProvider resource​

This section describes how to install the CoreProvider via CAPIProvider, which is responsible for managing the Cluster API CRDs and the Cluster API controller.

Example:

apiVersion: turtles-capi.cattle.io/v1alpha1
kind: CAPIProvider
metadata:
  name: cluster-api
  namespace: capi-system
spec:
  version: v1.4.6
  type: core # required

Option 2: CoreProvider resource​

This section describes how to install the CoreProvider, which is responsible for managing the Cluster API CRDs and the Cluster API controller.

Example:

apiVersion: operator.cluster.x-k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: CoreProvider
metadata:
  name: cluster-api
  namespace: capi-system
spec:
  version: v1.4.6
