Important: Make sure to perform DNS resolution with "nslookup" before initiating with kubeadm.


This node will be chosen as the Kubernetes Control Plane since it is the first node in the cluster.

sudo kubeadm init --pod-network-cidr="10.244.0.0/16" --control-plane-endpoint="<MASTER_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS>" --upload-certs --kubernetes-version=v1.24.10

Note:  After the installation, the MongoDB configurations are the same as those in the document Installation of MongoDB on Red Hat OS.


Important: Perform the Apinizer installation through the C Apinizer Installation and Configuration page.

Elasticsearch Installation

Important: After moving the installation file to the /opt/elasticsearch/ directory, follow all the steps in the Installation of Elasticsearch on Red Hat OS page.

sudo mkdir /opt/elasticsearch
cd elasticsearch

# Folder in the offline installation file
sudo mv elasticsearch-7.9.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz /opt/elasticsearch/ 
 
 
cd /opt/elasticsearch
sudo tar -xzf elasticsearch-7.9.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
