🗒 Tutorial

Details

Oracle Cloud Native Environment includes a CLI that can manage the life cycle of Kubernetes clusters using OSTree-based container images. Oracle Cloud Native Environment includes several provider types you can use to create a Kubernetes cluster, and this tutorial introduces how to use the ocne cluster command to create Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVM) using the libvirt provider.

The libvirt provider is the default Oracle Cloud Native Environment provider and provisions Kubernetes clusters using KVM. Oracle Cloud Native Environment uses the Oracle KVM stack to install libvirt because this version offers many more features for Oracle Linux-based systems.

For more information about Oracle Cloud Native Environment 2, please refer to the Release 2 Documentation site.
