help Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) FAQ
Is Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) a fully managed control plane?
OKE is a fully managed Kubernetes service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), meaning Oracle handles the provisioning, scaling, and upgrading of the Kubernetes control plane nodes. This significantly reduces the operational overhead for DevOps teams compared to managing self-hosted clusters.
Does Oracle charge extra for the control plane nodes in OKE?
Unlike some cloud providers that charge an hourly management fee for the control plane, Oracle does not charge an additional fee for the control plane in OKE. You only pay for the underlying compute, network, and storage resources consumed by your worker nodes.
How does OKE integrate with OCI's identity and access management?
Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes natively integrates with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM). This allows administrators to define granular role-based access control (RBAC) policies using existing OCI IAM users and groups directly within the Kubernetes cluster.
Can OKE support Kubernetes Container Network Interface (CNI) plugins?
Yes, OKE utilizes Oracle's native Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) native pod networking using the OCI VCN Native CNI plugin. This provides pods with routable IP addresses directly from the VCN subnet, bypassing the need for complex overlay networks.
