How to manage a Kubernetes Kapsule cluster

Important

Renaming a cluster is not a cosmetic change. The cluster name is used in several control-plane components, and renaming triggers a complete redeployment of the control plane. This operation can cause temporary disruption to your workloads. The cluster typically returns to normal operation within 5 to 10 minutes. Avoid renaming production clusters during peak usage periods. For more information, see the Kubernetes FAQ.

Click Kubernetes in the Containers section of the Scaleway console side menu. The Kubernetes dashboard displays.
From the drop-down menu, select the geographical region you want to manage.
Click more icon next to the cluster you want to edit to display the options menu: The following information and configuration options are available for your cluster:
- Add a pool: Add additional computing resources to the cluster
- Download kubeconfig: Download the .kubeconfig file of the cluster
- Delete: Delete the cluster
