Enable Add Node Capability
If you need to enable the Add Node capability, you first need to open the cluster APIServer service for external access, which includes opening internal network access (within the VPC) and opening external network access (to the Internet) two different types.
Enable External Network Access
External network access means that the user's nodes are outside the Tencent Cloud public cloud system, but can access Tencent Cloud services through various types of Internet access. This situation applies to most edge nodes.
1. Log in to the Tencent Kubernetes Engine, and select the Cluster option in the left-side navigation menu.
2. In the cluster list, click on the Edge Cluster ID to enter the cluster details page.
3. In the cluster "Basic Information", locate the "Cluster APIServer Information" and enable external network access.

After successfully enabling it, users can add ECM, CVM, and third-party nodes (via script) through the Internet link.
Enable Internal Network Access
Internal network access is provided to facilitate users to add CVM machines under the same VPC to the cluster, and register them to the edge cluster via the VPC intranet, thereby saving public network traffic. Edge Container provides the capability to add nodes through the intranet, and you can use it according to the following steps.
1. Log in to the Tencent Kubernetes Engine, and select the Cluster option in the left-side navigation menu.
2. In the cluster list, click on the Edge Cluster ID to enter the cluster details page.
3. In the cluster "Basic Information", locate the "Cluster APIServer Information" and enable internal network access.

﻿
4. In the "Internal Network Access Settings", select a subnet under the VPC where the cluster is located. You need to select a specific subnet (the subnet here refers to the subnet where the subsequently added CVM is located).
﻿
﻿
5. After clicking Confirm, you can use the script to add CVM nodes under this VPC through the internal network.
Note
After enabling internal network access, you can only add CVM nodes within the VPC through the Add Nodes via Script method on the node page. You cannot use the capabilities to create ECM nodes and create CVM nodes.
Next Steps
After enabling internal/external network access, you can add nodes to the cluster using the following methods:
﻿Create ECM node﻿
﻿Create CVM node﻿
﻿Add third-party nodes via script﻿
