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-127.0.0-dev/solutions.sh

Preparation¶

Import a solution in the cluster, and make the container images available through the cluster registry.
```
./solutions.sh import --archive </path/to/solution.iso>
```
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¶

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

To create an environment, run:
```
./solutions.sh create-env --name <environment-name>
```
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.
