Apache CloudStack
This is a Tech Preview feature and is subject to change. Do not use this feature in production workloads. This feature is supported in self-hosted Palette only.
Palette supports using Apache CloudStack as a data center provider. You can deploy Kubernetes clusters to your CloudStack environment using Palette.
To make this work, Palette will need a Private Cloud Gateway (PCG), which creates a secure connection from the internal network to the Palette instance, ultimately bypassing the need to create firewall rules or other network configurations allowing external connections to the internal network.
Get Started
To get started with CloudStack as your target platform for deploying Kubernetes clusters, you need to deploy a PCG in your CloudStack environment. The PCG acts as a bridge between your CloudStack environment and Palette, enabling secure communication between the two. Start by reviewing the Deploy a PCG in CloudStack guide and the required permissions.
If you are using a self-hosted Palette or VerteX instance, you can skip the PCG deployment and use the System PCG that is already available in the instance. Review the System PCG section of the PCG architecture page for more information.
After you have deployed the PCG, you can proceed to add a CloudStack account, which will enable you to create and manage CloudStack clusters in Palette.
