How to manage a Kubernetes Kosmos cluster
You can add nodes and pools to your Kosmos cluster from the Scaleway Console or by using the API. Here, we show you how to edit from the console.
You may need certain IAM permissions to carry out some actions described on this page. This means:
- you are the Owner of the Scaleway Organization in which the actions will be carried out, or
- you are an IAM user of the Organization, with a policy granting you the necessary permission sets
This document concerns the management of a Kosmos cluster. For a Kapsule cluster, refer to the corresponding documentation for Kapsule
Be aware that nodes from multi-cloud pools cannot benefit from the auto-healing and auto-scaling features of Scaleway Kapsule pool. Since Scaleway does not have access to your other providers’ accounts, it is not possible to carry out actions such as automatic deletion, creation,and reboot of external nodes.
- You have an account and are logged into the Scaleway console
- You have created a Kubernetes Kosmos cluster
- You have external machines running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS that you want to add to your cluster
How to add a multi-cloud pool to your Kosmos cluster
A multi-cloud pool allows you to attach external Instances and servers to your cluster. Instances added to the same pool do not need to share the same configuration, nor do they have to be managed by the same Cloud provider.
- Click Kubernetes in the Containers section of the side menu. The Kubernetes creation page displays.
- Click the cluster you want to add a pool to.
- Click the Pools tab.
- Click the + Add pool button. The pool creation wizard displays.
- Complete the following steps of the wizard:
- Choose a pool type. This can be a Scaleway Kubernetes Kapsule Pool or a Kubernetes Multi-Cloud Pool. This document concerns the addition of a Multi-Cloud Pool.
- A name for the pool and optionally a description and tags.
- Choose a pool type. This can be a Scaleway Kubernetes Kapsule Pool or a Kubernetes Multi-Cloud Pool. This document concerns the addition of a Multi-Cloud Pool.
- Click Add pool to finish.
How to add external nodes to your multi cloud pool
In order to add external nodes to your Multi Cloud cluster, you must first create a Multi Cloud pool.

How to detach nodes from your multi cloud pool
- Click Kubernetes in the Compute section of the side menu. The Kubernetes creation page displays.
- Click the cluster in question.
- Click the Nodes tab.
- Click the unlink icon next to the node you want to detach. A pop-up asks you to confirm the action.
