Currently the cluster creation can either be done on the console (login via
`ssh`) or the API, which we have a GUI implementation for (__Datacenter ->
Cluster__).
While it's common to reference all nodenames and their IPs in `/etc/hosts` (or
make their names resolvable through other means), this is not necessary for a
cluster to work. It may be useful however, as you can then connect from one node

Create a Cluster

Use a unique name for your cluster. This name cannot be changed later. The
cluster name follows the same rules as node names.
You can either create a cluster on the console (login via `ssh`), or through
the API using the {pve} Webinterface (__Datacenter -> Cluster__).

NOTE: Ensure the network selected for the cluster communication is not used for
any high traffic loads like those of (network) storages or live-migration.
While the cluster network itself produces small amounts of data, it is very
sensitive to latency. Check out full

After clicking the *Join* button, the cluster join process will start
immediately. After the node joined the cluster its current node certificate
will be replaced by one signed from the cluster certificate authority (CA),
that means the current session will stop to work after a few seconds. You might
