PD DigitalOcean Kubernetes lets you offer DigitalOcean Kubernetes clusters through WHMCS, using DigitalOcean. It suits container workloads that need a managed Kubernetes control plane, with the resource linked to the customer’s service.

Before you start

Install PD Modules for WHMCS first, connect the account that holds your licence, then install PD DigitalOcean Kubernetes from its Store. Allow the administrator role that needs to use it.

You also need a DigitalOcean account and an API token permitted to manage Kubernetes clusters. Check the provider account’s permissions, available locations and capacity before enabling automatic provisioning.

Connect the account

Add the provider connection under System Settings → Servers, selecting this module for the server record. Assign the appropriate server group to the product. Keep provider credentials on the connection, separate from the product’s resource defaults.

Define what the customer receives

Create a product using PD DigitalOcean Kubernetes and review its Module Settings and configurable options. Start with Region, Version, Node plan and Nodes. Together these describe the resource requested when a service is provisioned; they are not just labels on the order form.

Plan the worker size and count together before making customer-selectable options.

Choose which client controls the product exposes. If you offer configurable options, check that their values match the module’s supported choices and that the defaults describe the service you intend to sell.

Put the service into use

Set the product’s automatic-setup behaviour deliberately. If you want provisioning after payment, select that option rather than leaving setup manual. Keep the normal cron running for subsequent status and usage updates.

Check the first service

Check the cluster state and worker-node count, then review the client’s cluster access. A node plan is the size of each worker; it is not the number of workers.

Creating a real service creates provider resources and can incur provider charges. Review the configuration first; use your normal controlled test process for the first provisioning rather than making an order solely to browse the settings.
