Installing on Kubernetes clusters

Turbonomic is a containerized microservices platform that installs onto a Kubernetes cluster in a single namespace deployment. The platform uses an operator pattern to deploy, manage, and run the IBM components. The Turbonomic platform operator (t8c-operator) uses a Custom Resource Definition (with an Xl kind) and a Custom Resource to configure and adjust your setup.

Currently, installation on Kubernetes clusters is supported on the Red Hat OpenShift platform and AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). It is possible to install on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), or any upstream compliant Kubernetes, but your Turbonomic representative may not be able to provide support if needed.

As part of your deployment, you can take advantage of the backup and HA capabilities of an external database service running outside of the node cluster.
