Krateo PlatformOps Quickstart

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

  • Install Krateo PlatformOps into a local or managed Kubernetes cluster.

Starting a Local Cluster​

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

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/releases/latest/download/kind-vcluster.sh | sh
info

We are using vCluster to install Krateo in an isolated environment.

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.

At the end of this process:

Leveraging an existing Kubernetes cluster (with LoadBalancer)​

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

This quickstart will expose each Krateo component via LoadBalancer - please use a Kubernetes setup that allows automatically creation of Kubernetes Service of type LoadBalancer.

If you have any a kubeconfig already setup, you can test Krateo with the following script:

curl -L https://github.com/krateoplatformops/krateo/releases/latest/download/install-mac-intel.sh | sh
info

We are using vCluster to install Krateo in an isolated environment.

At the end of this process:

  • The Krateo Composable Portal will be accessible at:
export SERVICE_IP=$(kubectl get svc krateo-frontend-x-krateo-system-x-vcluster-k8s -n krateo-system -o json | jq -r '.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip')
echo http://$SERVICE_IP:8080

Cleaning up​

Congratulations! You've just gotten hands on with Krateo PlatformOps for the first time!

Now let's clean up!

Simply destroy the cluster:

kind delete cluster --name krateo-quickstart
