Illumio Core 25.1 Install, Configure, Upgrade

Helm Chart Deployment Overview

Starting with the Illumio Core for Kubernetes 3.0.0 release and later, 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.

Use these steps to deploy Helm Chart:

  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 Deploy with Helm Chart. At this stage you can optionally map existing Kubernetes labels to Illumio labels.

Follow the sections in this order, including the requirements and environment preparations described next.
