Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) Cluster
Quake AI concept: Kubernetes
- LKE provides a fully managed control plane (free Standard tier or paid Enterprise tier with HA and SLA); on Quake AI you provision the cluster through Magnum or self-managed Kubernetes on Nova instances (OpenTofu plus kubeadm, k3s, or RKE2) and operate it yourself.
- LKE clusters are created and managed through the Linode API or Cloud Manager with a single cluster object. Quake AI offers Magnum as a managed-cluster API, or you can compose a cluster from compute instances, a private network, a CNI, and a self-managed control-plane endpoint.
- LKE ships an integrated linode-cloud-controller-manager and linode-blockstorage CSI driver out of the box; on Quake AI you install openstack-cloud-controller-manager and the Cinder CSI driver yourself.
- LKE node pools auto-recycle when you upgrade the Kubernetes version; Quake AI node lifecycle is managed by you (OpenTofu replace, manual drain, or cluster API operator).
