Generate a Certificate Authority (CA) and accompanying certificates for your Docker Trusted Registry instance. You will need these to set up your cluster configuration file.
Challenge

Create the Cluster

Create a cluster configuration file, then create the cluster itself using Launchpad.

A dedicated user called launchpad has already been created on each server for Launchpad's use. This user already has all of the necessary permissions required by Launchpad on all three servers. On the UCP Manager server, you can find a public and private key file for the launchpad user in /home/cloud_user.
