Prerequisites

Overview​

Before working with Aembit, there are several prerequisites that need to be met. You should:

  • ensure Kubernetes is installed on your system.
  • be familiar with Kubernetes and Helm.
  • be comfortable using the kubectl command and helm command line tools.

Kubernetes Installation​

To install kubernetes and kubectl, refer to the following kubernetes technical documentation and follow the required steps for installation based on the OS you will be using.

Kubernetes Configuration​

Once the Kubernetes client is installed, a kubeconfig file can be configured for you to use to manage your cluster, enabling you to use kubeconfig with kubectl. The kubectl command allows you to run commands against your Kubernetes clusters to perform actions such as:

  • deploying applications to your cluster
  • managing cluster resources
  • view logs

You will also need to configure kubectl to work with your Kubernetes cluster. Information on configuring kubectl to connect to your cluster may be found in the Accessing Clusters section of the Kubernetes documentation.

Helm Installation​

To install Helm on your system, follow the steps found in the Helm technical documentation.
