SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provision TiDB clusters on KubeBlocks with the correct topology, version, storage sizing, and next-hop guidance, including an upfront environment readiness check when unknown.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided create-time workflow for TiDB on KubeBlocks, including topology selection, version strategy, and preflight validation.
  • Standardized manifest drafting and validation to reduce guesswork during cluster creation.
  • Clear routing to appropriate next-hops and safety constraints (for PD, TiKV, TiDB components) during provisioning.

Quick Start

Run kubeblocks-preflight if the environment is not profiled, then draft and apply a TiDB create manifest using the standard topology.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a TiDB cluster on KubeBlocks with the correct topology and storage sizing?▼

To deploy a TiDB cluster on KubeBlocks, use the guided create-time workflow to select the standard topology, define version strategy, draft the manifest, and apply it with validated storage sizing.

What preflight checks are required before provisioning a TiDB cluster on KubeBlocks?▼

Before provisioning a TiDB cluster, run kubeblocks-preflight if your environment is unknown to profile readiness, enforce strict validation, and ensure the create-time truth matrix passes.

Does KubeBlocks support strict validation for PD, TiKV, and TiDB components during cluster creation?▼

Yes, KubeBlocks enforces strict validation and routes to correct next-hops with safety constraints specifically for PD, TiKV, and TiDB components during the TiDB cluster creation process.

What is the best way to reduce guesswork when creating a TiDB manifest for KubeBlocks?▼

The best way to reduce guesswork is using the standardized manifest drafting and validation process provided by the guided create-time workflow for TiDB on KubeBlocks.

Why do I need to run environment readiness checks before creating a TiDB cluster on KubeBlocks?▼

You need environment readiness checks when your environment is not profiled, ensuring strict preflight validation passes before you draft and apply the TiDB create manifest.

How does the KubeBlocks create-time truth matrix work for TiDB deployments?▼

The create-time truth matrix for TiDB deployments works by enforcing preflight validation, routing to correct next-hops, and applying safety constraints for PD, TiKV, and TiDB components during provisioning.
