Kubernetes Cluster
Quake AI concept: Kubernetes
- Uses proprietary DigitalOcean API (POST /v2/kubernetes/clusters) for provisioning; Quake AI users provision Nova instances via OpenTofu and bootstrap Kubernetes manually (kubeadm, k3s).
- No cluster templates; direct specification of node pools in create request. Quake AI uses OpenTofu modules or IaC patterns to define cluster topology.
- Fully managed control plane at no cost (HA mode is a paid optional add-on); on Quake AI you provision the control plane through Magnum or self-managed on Nova instances and operate it yourself, including HA configuration.
- Node pools consist of identical Droplet-based worker nodes managed solely via kubectl (no SSH access); Quake AI nodes are Nova instances with full SSH access via keypair.
