Chapter 14. Using the Skupper Operator on Kubernetes

The Red Hat Service Interconnect Operator creates and manages Skupper sites in Kubernetes.

14.1. Creating a site using the Skupper Operator
Copy link

  1. Create a YAML file defining the ConfigMap of the site you want to create.

    For example, create skupper-site.yaml that provisions a site with a console: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: skupper-site
  namespace: my-namespace
data:
  console: "true"
  flow-collector: "true"
  console-user: "admin"
  console-password: "changeme"
    Note

    Currently, you must enable the console on the same site as you enable the flow collector.

    You can also create a site without a console: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: skupper-site
  namespace: my-namespace

  2. Apply the YAML to create a ConfigMap named skupper-site in the namespace you want to use: 

    $ kubectl apply -f skupper-site.yaml

  3. Verify that the site is created by checking that the Skupper router and service controller pods are running: 

    $ kubectl get pods

NAME                                          READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
skupper-router-8c6cc6d76-27562                1/1     Running   0          40s
skupper-service-controller-57cdbb56c5-vc7s2   1/1     Running   0          34s
    Note

    If you deployed the Operator to a single namespace, an additional site controller pod is also running.
