Illumio Core 21.5 Install, Configure, Upgrade

Helm Chart Deployment Overview

Starting with the Illumio Core for Kubernetes 3.0.0 release, the product (including C-VEN and Kubelink) is now deployed by using a Helm Chart. The product components and the Helm Chart are downloaded from a public container repository, https://quay.io/repository/illumio/illumio.

The basic steps to deploy via Helm Chart are:

  1. Deploy and configure your PCE. (See the PCE Installation and Upgrade Guide.)

  2. Create a container cluster. (See Create a Container Cluster in the PCE.)

  3. Create a pairing profile. (See Create a Pairing Profile for Your Cluster Nodes.)

  4. Deploy Helm Chart. (See the "Deploy with Helm Chart" topic.)

Follow the sections in the order provided in the rest of this chapter, including the requirements and environment preparations described next.
