ClusterControl Administration Guide
The Administration Guide covers how to operate ClusterControl itself, day to day, once it's installed and running: upgrades, configuration, backup and restore of the controller, security hardening, high availability, and routine maintenance.
If you're installing ClusterControl for the first time, see Requirements and Online Installation instead.
What's in this guide
- Upgrades and configuration: Keep ClusterControl current and tune its configuration for your environment. See Upgrading ClusterControl and ClusterControl Configuration.
- Users, teams, and security: Manage ClusterControl accounts and harden the deployment. See Users & Teams and Securing ClusterControl.
- Backup and restore of ClusterControl itself: Protect the controller's own configuration and metadata, separate from your database backups. See Backup & Restore.
- High availability and scale: Run multiple controllers for redundancy or large fleets, and tune ClusterControl for large deployments. See Redundancy & High Availability and Tuning for Large Deployment.
- Ongoing maintenance: Routine housekeeping, usage metering and billing, migrating to a new server, and uninstalling or reinstalling. See Housekeeping, Usage Metering and Billing, Migrating ClusterControl to Another Server, and Uninstall or Reinstall.
Who should use this guide
This guide is for administrators and DevOps engineers responsible for an existing ClusterControl installation: keeping it upgraded, secure, backed up, and tuned for the size of the environment it manages.
