Prepare the Equinix Metal configuration

  1. Change the directory to kaas-bootstrap.

  2. In templates/equinix/equinix-config.yaml.template, modify spec:projectID and spec:apiToken:value using the values obtained in the previous steps. For example:

    spec:
      projectID: g98sd6f8-dc7s-8273-v8s7-d9v7395nd91
      apiToken:
        value: Bi3m9c7qjYBD3UgsnSCSsqs2bYkbK
    
  3. In templates/equinix/cluster.yaml.template, modify the default configuration of the Equinix Metal facility depending on the previously prepared capacity settings:

    providerSpec:
      value:
      ...
        facility: am6
    

    Also, modify other parameters as required.

  4. Optional. In templates/equinix/machines.yaml.template, modify the default configuration of the Equinix Metal machine type. The minimal required type is c3.small.x86.

    providerSpec:
      value:
      ...
        machineType: c3.small.x86
    

    Also, modify other parameters as required.

  5. Export the following parameter:

    export KAAS_EQUINIX_ENABLED=true
    
  6. Re-verify that the selected Equinix Metal facility for the management cluster bootstrap is still available and has enough capacity:

    metal capacity check -f $EQUINIX_FACILITY -P $EQUINIX_MACHINE_TYPE -q $MACHINES_AMOUNT
    

    In the system response, if the value in the AVAILABILITY section has changed from true to false, find an available facility and update the previously configured facility field in cluster.yaml.template.
