Solution Deployment

To deploy a solution in a MetalK8s cluster, a utility script is provided. This procedure describes how to deploy a solution using this tool, which is located at the root of the MetalK8s archive:

/srv/scality/metalk8s-2.9.2/solutions.sh

Preparation

  1. Import a solution in the cluster, and make the container images available through the cluster registry.

    ./solutions.sh import --archive </path/to/solution.iso>
    
  2. Activate a solution version.

    ./solutions.sh activate --name <solution-name> --version <solution-version>
    

    Only one version of a solution can be active at a time. An active solution version provides cluster-wide resources, such as CRDs, to all other versions of this solution.

Deployment

  1. Solutions are meant to be deployed in isolated namespaces called environments.

    To create an environment, run:

    ./solutions.sh create-env --name <environment-name>
    
  2. Solutions are packaged with an Operator to provide all required domain-specific logic. To deploy a solution operator in an environment, run:

    ./solutions.sh add-solution --name <environment-name> \
    --solution <solution-name> --version <solution-version>
    

Configuration

The solution operator is now deployed. To finalize the deployment and configuration of a solution, refer to its documentation.
