Install with Helm¶

Before you begin...¶

Install the prerequisites that are required to run WSO2 API Platform For Kubernetes.

Start WSO2 API Platform For Kubernetes¶

Follow the instructions below to deploy APK Data Service (DS) servers and the Cloud Native Postgres(CloudNativePG) in the Kubernetes cluster.

Install APK¶

Create a new helm repository with the latest apk release using the following command. Let’s consider the <repository-name> as wso2apk for this guide.
```
helm repo add wso2apk https://github.com/wso2/apk/releases/download/1.1.0
```
Execute the following command to update the helm repositories.
```
helm repo update
```
Install the APK components and start WSO2 API Platform For Kubernetes. Consider apk as the <chart-name> for this guide. As the --version of this command, use the version of the release you used in point 1 above. It will take a few minutes for the deployment to complete.

CommandFormat

helm install apk wso2apk/apk-helm --version 1.1.0

helm install <chart-name> <repository-name>/apk-helm --version <version-of-APK>

Optional

To commence the installation while making use of the customization capabilities inherent in the values.yaml file, follow the subsequent command format. Instructions in Customize Configurations will guide you through the process of acquiring the values.yaml file.

CommandFormat

helm install apk wso2apk/apk-helm --version 1.1.0 -f values.yaml

helm install <chart-name> <repository-name>/apk-helm --version <version-of-APK> -f <path-to-values.yaml-file>

If you want to update the values of an existing APK installation, please execute the following helm upgrade command. Use the --no-hooks flag to disable the hooks available in the APK helm chart.

CommandFormat

helm upgrade apk wso2apk/apk-helm --version 1.1.0 -f values.yaml --no-hooks

helm upgrade <chart-name> <repository-name>/apk-helm --version <version-of-APK> -f <path-to-values.yaml-file> --no-hooks

Verify the deployment¶

Now you can verify the deployment by executing the following command. You will see the status of the pods as follows once completed.

Command

kubectl get pods
