Deployment
All Kaa services, including EPMX, are distributed as Helm charts. You can run these charts using Kubernetes.
Installing EPMX chart on Kubernetes
Preparation
These steps should be done once for your entire Kaa cluster in Kubernetes.
-
Install Helm client and Tiller server.
-
Create a Kaa license secret (remember to put in your Kaa license key file contents and password):
export HISTCONTROL=ignorespace # Prevent saving your key password in the shell history; note the leading space in the next line cat << EOF > /tmp/kaa-licence.yaml apiVersion: v1 data: file: < your licence key file contents, base64-encoded > password: < your licence key password > kind: Secret metadata: name: license type: Opaque EOF kubectl create -f /tmp/kaa-licence.yaml
-
Specify the image pull secret for the official KaaIoT docker registry. To define this secret, use your KaaID credentials:
export HISTCONTROL=ignorespace # Prevent saving your credentials in the shell history; note the leading space in the next line export KAAID_EMAIL=<your KaaID email, eg. bob@example.com> KAAID_PASSWORD=<your KaaID password> kubectl create secret docker-registry kaaid --docker-server=dev-hub.kaaiot.net --docker-username=$KAAID_EMAIL --docker-email=$KAAID_EMAIL --docker-password=$KAAID_PASSWORD
-
If you want to enable API security in your Kaa cluster (recommended), you should create an auth server backend secret for the service to be able to request PAT tokens.
export HISTCONTROL=ignorespace # Prevent saving your client ID amd secret in the shell history; note the leading space in the next line cat << EOF > /tmp/keycloak-backend-secret.yaml apiVersion: v1 data: client-id: < your client-id, base64-encoded > client-secret: < your client-secret, base64-encoded > kind: Secret metadata: name: "keycloak-backend" labels: app.kubernetes.io/name: "kaa-name" helm.sh/chart: "kaa-chart-version" app.kubernetes.io/instance: "kaa-instance-name" app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: "release-service-name" EOF kubectl create -f /tmp/keycloak-backend-secret.yaml
-
Add the KaaIoT Helm repository:
helm repo add kaa-museum https://museum.kaaiot.net/
Installation
Once you have completed the preparation steps, everything is ready for deploying EPMX on your Kubernetes cluster. To deploy the service, run the following command (observe the reference to the previously created license secret):
helm install --set global.license.secretName=license kaa-museum/epmx --name kaa-epmx
Check that pods are running:
kubectl get pods
Once the service initialization is complete, you should observe the output similar to the below:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
...
kaa-epmx 1/1 Running 0 2m
...
