Overview
Yotascale’s Kubernetes Integration requires the installation of an agent, which is essentially a Kubernetes POD, in each of your clusters that you want onboarded onto Yotascale. This document describes how to install the agent onto your cluster along with some pre-requisites that are required for it to function as required by Yotascale.
Follow the steps below for installing the agent onto each of your Kubernetes clusters.
Installing the Agent
Step 1: Download the Deployment Descriptor
Click on Manage Cloud Services from the Settings menu
...
Click the Download button to save the Deployment Descriptor.
Step 2: Update the Environment Variables for your Cluster
Update the following Environment Variables in the downloaded file:The deployment descriptor lists multiple environment variables in the last few lines of the file. You would need to configure some of them according to your environment.
Environment Variable | Description | Value needs to be specified |
|---|---|---|
KUBERNETES_CLUSTER_ID | Give your cluster a unique name in order to identify clusters within Yotascale. | Yes |
PROMETHEUS_API_ENDPOINT | Point the agent to the Prometheus API by providing the URL. | Yes |
YOTASCALE_API_KEY | This Environment variable authenticates (and identifies) this agent against a Service Role that your administrators have subscribed to by default. This will be pre-populated in the deployment descriptor and does not need to be updated by the user. | No |
YOTASCALE_KUBERNETES_API_ENDPOINT | This is the URL of the Yotascale API that allows the agent to authenticate iteself with Yotascale, and send frequent heartbeats for monitoring. This URL will be pre-populated in the deployment descriptor. | No |
Step 3: Deploy Yotascale Agent on Kubernetes
Apply Once you have updated the updated deployment descriptor, apply the updated file onto your cluster
