QuickStart: Container Cloud on Equinix Metal with public networking

Caution

The public networking mode for the Equinix Metal based clusters is deprecated for the sake of the private networking mode. Deployments with public networks will become unsupported in one of the following Container Cloud releases.

Using this QuickStart tutorial, you can deploy a Mirantis Container Cloud Equinix Metal based management cluster with public networking containing 3 control plane nodes. This cluster will run the public API and the web UI. Using the Container Cloud web UI, you can deploy managed clusters that run Mirantis Kubernetes Engine.

Note

If your management cluster requires private networking, refer to Deploy an Equinix Metal based management cluster with private networking.

The following diagram illustrates the deployment overview of a Container Cloud Equinix Metal based management cluster with public networking:
