In this chapter, we will continue from where we left off in the previous chapter, by adding additional compute nodes to the cluster; we will learn to horizontally scale the cluster so that we can add more workloads to this cluster.

Node Management

So far, we have been working on a cluster with only a single node. What if we wanted to add more nodes to the cluster?

We can do that in microk8s itself. First, we need to prepare another machine whether physical or virtual, then we add the second ...
