红帽全球峰会2.8. Installing the Operators
To install Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh, first install the Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh Operator and any optional Operators on OpenShift Container Platform. Then create a ServiceMeshControlPlane resource to deploy the control plane.
This basic installation is configured based on the default OpenShift settings and is not designed for production use. Use this default installation to verify your installation, and then configure your service mesh for your specific environment.
Prerequisites
- Read the Preparing to install Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh process.
-
An account with the
cluster-adminrole. If you use Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated, you must have an account with thededicated-adminrole.
The following steps show how to install a basic instance of Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh on OpenShift Container Platform.
Starting with Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh 2.5, Red Hat OpenShift Distributed Tracing Platform (Jaeger) and OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Red Hat will provide bug fixes and support for these features during the current release lifecycle, but this feature will no longer receive enhancements and will be removed. As an alternative to Red Hat OpenShift Distributed Tracing Platform (Jaeger), you can use Red Hat OpenShift Distributed Tracing Platform instead.
2.8.1. Service Mesh Operators overview
Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh requires the use of the Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh Operator which allows you to connect, secure, control, and observe the microservices that comprise your applications. You can also install other Operators to enhance your service mesh experience.
Do not install Community versions of the Operators. Community Operators are not supported.
The following Operator is required:
- Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh Operator
-
Allows you to connect, secure, control, and observe the microservices that comprise your applications. It also defines and monitors the
ServiceMeshControlPlaneresources that manage the deployment, updating, and deletion of the Service Mesh components. It is based on the open source Istio project.
The following Operators are optional:
- Kiali Operator provided by Red Hat
- Provides observability for your service mesh. You can view configurations, monitor traffic, and analyze traces in a single console. It is based on the open source Kiali project.
- Red Hat OpenShift Distributed Tracing Platform
