Use this guide to get the most out of the add-on management features of Ncloud Kubernetes Service.

About add-ons

Add-ons allow you to install additional components required for a cluster and manage their versions and settings. Select and install the desired add-ons from the catalog. After installation, you can update versions, change settings, and delete add-ons as needed.

With the add-on management feature, you can perform the following tasks:

  • View the list, versions, and status of installed add-ons.
  • Select a desired version from those compatible with the cluster's Kubernetes version.
  • Enter the settings defined for each add-on to install it with the desired configuration.

Add-on interface

You can view installed add-ons and related information on the [Add-on] tab of the cluster details page. The following information is available for each add-on:

  • Name, description, category: Add-on identification information
  • Status: Current task and operational status (see Check status).
  • Version information: Installed version and latest catalog version. If an updatable version exists, "Update available" is displayed.
  • Status log message: Message displayed when you click [View task result details]. Used to identify the cause of a failed task.
