Stand-alone cluster

The management cluster can be used as a stand-alone cluster for running production workloads. After installation, the platform provides an infrastructure provider instance (vSphere, oVirt, Shturval v2) named after the cluster assigned during installation. The provider interface shows hosts where the management cluster is deployed. To scale the management cluster, add additional hosts to this provider instance.

The management cluster interface is available under Clusters/Management cluster.

A stand-alone management cluster differs from a client cluster only in the Alerts section — it is not available in the management cluster.

No additional configuration is required to convert a stand-alone management cluster into a full platform for managing multiple clusters.
