      Creating a Virtual Node

      Find out how to create a virtual node using Kubernetes Engine (OKE).

      You create virtual nodes by creating a virtual node pool. You can only create virtual nodes in enhanced clusters. For more information, see Creating Virtual Nodes and Virtual Node Pools in a New Cluster.
