# Create clusters — POST /v1/compute/k8s/clusters URL: https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi/compute/createkubernetescluster > Provisions a DOKS cluster for the caller's org and answers 201. `POST /v1/compute/k8s/clusters` > [Compute →](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi/compute) · [All API references →](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi) · [Get started →](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/guides) | | | | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | **Address** | `https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/compute/k8s/clusters` | | **Method** | `POST` | | **Operation** | `createKubernetesCluster` | | **Auth** | `Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY` | Provisions a DOKS cluster for the caller's org and answers 201. ADMIN-GATED — a SuperAdmin, or an OrgAdmin of the caller's own org — because provisioning spends real infrastructure on the house account. The request is validated at this boundary, then Visor owns provisioning and the hanzo-org ownership tag. ## Request 7 fields, body `application/json` (required). | Field | In | Type | Required | Description | | ---------------- | ---- | --------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | body | string | — | Name is the cluster's name. | | `nodePool` | body | object | — | NodePool is the ONE pool the cluster is born with — a cluster with no nodes runs nothing, so it is not optional. | | `nodePool.count` | body | integer (int64) | — | | | `nodePool.name` | body | string | — | | | `nodePool.size` | body | string | — | | | `region` | body | string | — | Region is the provider region slug (e.g. "nyc3"). | | `version` | body | string | — | Version is the Kubernetes version slug; empty takes the provider default. | ## Response | Status | Body | Meaning | | --------- | ------------------- | ------- | | `200` | compute.clusterView | ok | | `default` | problem-details | refused | `200` body — 19 fields. | Field | In | Type | Always | Description | | ----------------------- | ---- | ----------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `amdGpu` | body | integer (int64) | — | AmdGPU is the same count for `amd.com/gpu`: AMD accelerators across the BYO cluster's nodes, as of the attach. | | `createdAt` | body | string | — | CreatedAt is when the cluster started existing: the earliest creation time among its pools for a managed cluster, and for a BYO one the RFC 3339 moment it was attached. | | `doClusterId` | body | string | — | DoClusterID carries the SAME id as DoksClusterID. | | `doksClusterId` | body | string | — | DoksClusterID is the provider's own id for the cluster, and the value the /v1/compute/k8s/clusters/:id routes take. | | `kind` | body | string | — | Kind says which of the two kinds of cluster this row is, and there are only two: "managed" — Visor provisioned it and Hanzo's account pays the provider — or "byo", an existing cluster the org attached by kubeconfig. | | `name` | body | string | — | Name is the cluster's name: the provider's for a managed cluster, and for a BYO one the lower-cased fleet name it was attached under — which is also how the detach route addresses it. | | `nodeCount` | body | integer (int64) | — | NodeCount is how many worker nodes the cluster has — the sum over its pools for a managed cluster, and for a BYO one the node count read off the cluster when it was attached. | | `nodePools` | body | compute.nodePoolView\[] | — | NodePools is the authoritative node inventory — every pool, each with its own size and count. | | `nodePools[].autoScale` | body | boolean | — | AutoScale reports whether the provider's cluster autoscaler owns this pool's size, moving Count between MinNodes and MaxNodes as workloads demand. | | `nodePools[].count` | body | integer (int64) | — | Count is how many nodes the pool has right now. | | `nodePools[].maxNodes` | body | integer (int64) | — | MaxNodes is the ceiling the autoscaler will not grow the pool past, and so the bound on what this pool can cost. | | `nodePools[].minNodes` | body | integer (int64) | — | MinNodes is the floor the autoscaler will not shrink the pool below. | | `nodePools[].name` | body | string | — | Name is the pool's name as the provider knows it. | | `nodePools[].poolId` | body | string | — | PoolID is the provider's id for the pool — the value the scale and delete routes address it by. | | `nodePools[].size` | body | string | — | Size is the provider size slug every node in the pool runs at ("s-4vcpu-8gb", "gpu-h100x8-640gb"). | | `nodeSize` | body | string | — | NodeSize is a display convenience: the size slug of the FIRST pool. | | `nvidiaGpu` | body | integer (int64) | — | NvidiaGPU is how many NVIDIA accelerators the cluster's nodes advertise, the sum of `nvidia.com/gpu` allocatable across them. | | `region` | body | string | — | Region is the provider region slug for a managed cluster. | | `status` | body | string | — | Status is the cluster's state: the provider's own word for a managed cluster ("running", "provisioning"), "unknown" when the provider stated none, and always "attached" for a BYO cluster — that one says the kubeconfig is on file, not that the cluster is reachable this second. | Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors). ## Examples **CLI** ```bash hanzo compute k8s clusters create ``` **SDK** **.ts** ```ts import { Configuration, ComputeApi } from 'hanzoai';
