Krateo PlatformOps Quickstart

This guide presents a basic introduction to Krateo PlatformOps. Together, we will:

• Install Krateo PlatformOps 2.5.1 into a local cluster.
• Deploy the github-scaffolding-with-composition-page Blueprint
• Deploy a Composition leveraging the github-scaffolding-with-composition-page Blueprint
• Destroy the cluster

Requirements

The github-scaffolding-with-composition-page Blueprint will create a new public GitHub repository in your organization. Fill the form according to the organization name.

Deploy Krateo PlatformOps on a local cluster (kind)

Any of the following approaches require Helm v3.13.1 or greater to be installed.

kind

If you have any Docker-compatible container runtime installed (including native Docker, Docker Desktop, or OrbStack), you can easily launch a disposable cluster just for this quickstart using kind.

curl -L https://github.com/krateoplatformops/krateo-v2-docs/releases/latest/download/kind.sh | sh

info

While this option is a bit more complex than using Docker Desktop or OrbStack directly, it offers the advantage of being fully-disposable. If your cluster reaches a state you are dissatisfied with, you can simply destroy it and launch a new one.

Wait for Krateo PlatformOps to be up&running:

kubectl wait krateoplatformops krateo --for condition=Ready=True --namespace krateo-system --timeout=500s

At the end of this process:

• The Krateo Composable Portal will be accessible at localhost:30080.
• The admin user password can be retrieved with the following command:

kubectl get secret admin-password  -n krateo-system -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d

Login into the Krateo Composable Portal: http://localhost:30080/

Navigate the dashboard:

Deploy the github-scaffolding-with-composition-page Blueprint

We will leverage the github-scaffolding-with-composition-page blueprint. Follow the README instructions to deploy the blueprint leveraging Krateo Composable Portal.

Navigate again the dashboard and observe how the state changes while CompositionDefinition becomes Ready:True.

Check the Blueprints section in the Portal:

Deploy a Composition leveraging the github-scaffolding-with-composition-page Blueprint

Click on the GItHub Scaffolding with Composition Page card, a form will appear on the right:

Fill the form fields in the following way:

Key	Value
git.toRepo.name	krateo-demo
git.toRepo.org	your github organization

A new Composition is now available and an automatic redirect is done:

Let's move back to the Compositions menu:

Let's click on the krateo-demo composition panel.

Destroy the cluster

Simply destroy the cluster:
