Parameter Name | Use Instructions |
Cluster name | Enter the name of the cluster to be created, which contains up to 50 characters. |
Master&Etcd maintenance | Platform management: The cluster control plane components are maintained by Tencent Cloud's professional team, requiring certain management fees. For details, see Cluster Management Fees. Self-maintenance: Users need to purchase, maintain, and manage control plane resources on their own. The platform does not provide service guarantees. |
Cluster specification | Select an appropriate cluster specification as needed. For details, see Choosing Cluster Specification. You can adjust the cluster specification manually or enable Auto Cluster Upgrade for automatic adjustment. |
Kubernetes version | It is recommended to select the latest version. For the version support range, see TKE Kubernetes Revision Version History. For version maintenance rules, see TKE Kubernetes Version Maintenance Mechanism. |
Runtime components | It is recommended to select the latest Containerd version supported. (Starting from Kubernetes 1.24, support for Docker via Dockershim has been removed. The container runtime for new TKE nodes only supports Containerd 1.6.9.) |
Operating system | TKE provides various public images including TencentOS, Ubuntu, and CentOS. You can select one based on actual situations. For details, see List of Public Images Supported by TKE. |
Tencent Cloud tags | Binding tags to a cluster enables categorized management of resources. Cloud resources created within the cluster will inherit the cluster tags by default. |
Advanced settings | Node hostname naming mode: the host and node naming rule, which supports automatic naming (private IP by default) and manual naming.
Project of new-added resource: Select a project based on actual requirements. New resources will be automatically assigned to this project. |

Container network add-on | Container Network Interface (CNI) is a network add-on providing network solutions for Kubernetes clusters, to achieve flexible, scalable, and high-performance network connection. The CNI network add-on of TKE follows the CNI specification and enables seamless integration of Kubernetes clusters with various network solutions, to meet different business needs and performance requirements. TKE offers three CNI modes: VPC-CNI, Global Router, and Cilium-Overlay. For details, see How to Choose a TKE Network Mode. Note: It is recommended to use VPC-CNI in public cloud scenarios and Cilium-Overlay in registered node scenarios. VPC-CNI The VPC-CNI mode is recommended by default in TKE. VPC-CNI is provided by TKE based on Tencent Cloud VPC and can directly assign native VPC ENIs to Pods, achieving network interconnection between the Pods. It is applicable to scenarios with high latency requirements. In this network mode, containers and nodes are distributed on the same network plane and container IP addresses are ENI IP addresses allocated by the IPAMD component. For details, see VPC-CNI Mode.
Global Router
Global Router is provided by TKE based on the global routing capabilities of Tencent Cloud VPC. The CIDR IP range for Pods is independent of that for the VPC and the Pod CIDR information of different nodes is distributed to the VPC through global routing, enabling cross-node Pod communication. For details, see Global Router Mode.
Cilium-Overlay
Cilium-Overlay is provided by TKE based on Cilium VXLan to achieve network management when registered nodes are added to a TKE cluster in distributed cloud scenarios. For details, see Cilium-Overlay Mode. |
Advanced settings | Kube-proxy proxy mode: Select iptables or ipvs. The IPVS mode is applicable to large-scale services in clusters. Once enabled, it cannot be disabled. For details, see Enabling IPVS for a Cluster. |
