1. Sign up for Neterial

Install CLI: 
curl -sSL https://get.neterial.io/cli.sh | bash
Sign up and log in with the Neterial CLI: 
neterial auth login

​
2. Connect your cloud

Neterial installs and manages resources in your cloud account and requires access credentials for your chosen provider. Choose one of the following cloud providers: Each guide will walk you through the necessary permissions and authentication setup. Verify that the cloud is connected: 
neterial provider list
Example output: 
NAME            STATUS          LAST_UPDATE
AWS             Uninitialized
Hetzner Cloud   Ready           2 seconds

​
3. Create the cluster

Create a Kubernetes cluster with the following command: 
neterial kube create cluster --cloud [PROVIDER]
Replace:
  • PROVIDER with either hcloud (for Hetzner Cloud) or aws (for AWS)
Verify that your cluster was created successfully: 
neterial kube get clusters
Example output: 
NAME      STATUS   PROVIDER        LOCATION   AGE          VERSION
default   Ready    Hetzner Cloud   hel1       5 minutes    1.32

​
4. Get access to the cluster

kubectl config use-context default-neterial-admin@default-neterial
kubectl get nodes
Verify that you can access your cluster: 
kubectl get nodes
Example output: 
NAME                       STATUS   ROLES           AGE     VERSION
nks-default-ctl-1d39beb8   Ready    control-plane   9m39s   v1.32.3
nks-default-wrk-5a451893   Ready    <none>          8m35s   v1.32.3
Congratulations! You now have a fully operational Kubernetes cluster managed by Neterial.
