Install a Multi-node Kubernetes and KubeSphere Cluster
In a production environment, a single-node cluster cannot satisfy most of the needs as the cluster has limited resources with insufficient compute capabilities. Thus, single-node clusters are not recommended for large-scale data processing. Besides, a cluster of this kind is not available with high availability as it only has one node. On the other hand, a multi-node architecture is the most common and preferred choice in terms of application deployment and distribution.
This section gives you an overview of a single-master multi-node installation, including the concept, KubeKey and steps. For information about HA installation, refer to High Availability Configurations , Installing on Public Cloud and Installing in On-premises Environment .
