Krateo PlatformOps Quickstart

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

  • Install Krateo PlatformOps into a local cluster.
  • Deploy the FireworksApp Template
  • Deploy a Composition leveraging the FireworksApp Template
  • Destroy the cluster

Requirements​

The FireworksApp Template 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.

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=300s

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/

Deploy the FireworksApp Template​

We will leverage the FireworksApp template. Follow the README instructions to deploy the template leveraging Krateo Composable Portal.

Wait for the CompositionDefinition to become Ready:

kubectl wait compositiondefinition fireworksapp --for condition=Ready=True --namespace fireworksapp-system --timeout=300s

Check the Templates section in the Portal:

Templates

Deploy a Composition leveraging the FireworksApp Template​

Click on the FireworksApp card, a form will appear on the right:

Form

Fill the form fields in the following way:

KeyValue
namekrateo-demo
namespacefireworksapp-system
git.toRepo.orgyour github organization

A new Composition is now available:
