How to Access the Kubernetes Cluster
SSH into Control and Worker Nodes
Control Node:
ssh -i <ssh-private.key> -p 2222 cloud@<Public IP address of Virtual Router>
Worker node
ssh -i <ssh-private.key > -p 2223 cloud@<Public ip address of Virtual Router>
Note: In case there are worker nodes more than one, then every worker node is mapped from port 2223 to the total number of worker modes. For example if I have 3 worker nodes, then ports 2223, 2224 & 2225 are mapped to each worker node. You can access all the worker node using the Public IP of Kubernetes cluster with their corresponding ports as shown in the commands above.
