Applying the custom resource manually

To install the deployment, you must apply the custom resource to the operator. If the prerequisite scripts were used to generate and validate the custom resource file, the script is able to apply all generated files. For any advanced configurations that are added, you need to follow the steps that are mentioned to apply the custom resource manually.

Procedure

Check that all the components that you want to install are configured.

cat ibm_content_cr_production.yaml
cat ibm_ai_services_cr_production.yaml

Deploy the configured components by applying the custom resource.

kubectl apply -f ibm_content_cr_production.yaml
kubectl apply -f ibm_ai_services_cr_production.yaml

Results

The operator reconciliation loop can take some time. You must verify that the operator container is running.

Monitor the status of your pods from the command line.
```
kubectl get pods -w
```
When all of the pods are "Running", you can access the status of your services with the following CLI command.
```
kubectl status
```

Refer to the Troubleshooting to access the operator logs.

What to do next

Some capabilities need you to follow post-deployment steps. To ensure the deployment is successful, verify the deployed components. For more information, see Validating your deployment.
