Chapter 2. Installation overview


You can deploy self-service automation portal from a Helm chart on OpenShift Container Platform.

Helm is a tool that simplifies deployment of applications on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform clusters. Helm uses a packaging format called Helm charts. A Helm chart is a package of files that define how an application is deployed and managed on OpenShift. The Helm chart for self-service automation portal is available in the OpenShift Helm catalog.
