Create a cluster

Any user can create a cluster, providing it's within their quota. The size of the instances is from a list of sizes.

Clusters are created by sending a POST request to https://api.civo.com/v2/kubernetes/clusters.

Request

The following parameter(s) should be sent along with the request:

Response

The response is a JSON object that describes the initial setup of the cluster, future calls to get clusters may return more information (as underlying nodes are created, applications are installed, etc).

Example of creating a Kubernetes cluster

• Curl
• Node.js
• Ruby

curl -H "Authorization: bearer 12345" https://api.civo.com/v2/instances \
  -d "name=mycluster&num_target_nodes=3&target_nodes_size=g2.small"

// At a shell prompt run:
// npm init -y
// npm i --save request

var request = require('request');

request.post(
  'https://api.civo.com/v2/instances',
  {
    form: {
      name: "mycluster",
      target_nodes_size: "g2.small",
      num_target_nodes: 3
    }
  },
  function (error, response, body) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
      console.log(body)
    }
  }
).auth(null, null, true, '12345');

require 'net/http'

http = Net::HTTP.new('api.civo.com', 443)
http.use_ssl = true

headers = {
  'Authorization' => 'bearer 12345',
  'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}

resp, data = http.post('/v2/instances',
  'name=mycluster&target_nodes_size=g2.small&num_target_nodes=3',
  headers)

List clusters

A list of clusters accessible from an account is available by sending a GET request to https://api.civo.com/v2/kubernetes/clusters.

Request

This request requires no parameters.

Response

The response is a JSON array of cluster objects, like the JSON described for the `create` call above.

Example of listing clusters

• Curl
• Node.js
• Ruby

curl -H "Authorization: bearer 12345" https://api.civo.com/v2/kubernetes/clusters

// At a shell prompt run:
// npm init -y
// npm i --save request

var request = require('request');

request.get(
  'https://api.civo.com/v2/kubernetes/clusters',
  {},
  function (error, response, body) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
      console.log(body)
    }
  }
).auth(null, null, true, '12345');

require 'net/http'

http = Net::HTTP.new('api.civo.com', 443)
http.use_ssl = true

headers = {
  'Authorization' => 'bearer 12345',
  'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}

resp, data = http.get('/v2/kubernetes/clusters', headers)

Retrieving a cluster

A single cluster's details are available by sending a GET request to https://api.civo.com/v2/kubernetes/clusters/:id.

Request

This request requires only the ID parameter in the URL.

Response

The response is a JSON object that describes the details for the cluster as described under the `create` call above.

Example of retrieving a cluster

• Curl
• Node.js
• Ruby

curl -H "Authorization: bearer 12345" https://api.civo.com/v2/kubernetes/clusters/12345
    

// At a shell prompt run:
// npm init -y
// npm i --save request

var request = require('request');

request.get(
  'https://api.civo.com/v2/kubernetes/clusters/12345',
  {},
  function (error, response, body) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
      console.log(body)
    }
  }
).auth(null, null, true, '12345');

require 'net/http'

http = Net::HTTP.new('api.civo.com', 443)
http.use_ssl = true

headers = {
  'Authorization' => 'bearer 12345',
  'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}

resp, data = http.get('/v2/instances/12345', headers)
