Kubernetes Engine (VKE) does not support Bare Metal servers as worker nodes, only virtual Compute instances.
No, the Vultr Kubernetes Engine (VKE) does not support deploying Vultr Bare Metal servers as worker nodes within a Kubernetes cluster. VKE is designed to operate exclusively with Vultr's virtual Compute instances, including:
These virtual instances offer features such as dynamic scaling, snapshots, and networking, which are integral to VKE's managed Kubernetes service. While Vultr offers Bare Metal servers as a separate product, they are not compatible with VKE's architecture. To use Kubernetes on Vultr, you must provision and manage clusters using the supported virtual Compute instances.
