Kubernetes Deployment

HCL AION supports Harbor-based deployments on Kubernetes clusters (AWS, Azure, GCP, or On-prem). Ensure all PersistentVolume YAML files have updated NFS/EFS/Azure File details before executing deployment.

Steps for K8s deployment:

  • Update NFS/EFS/Azure File paths in pv.yaml, pv-postgres.yaml, and redis-pv.yaml.
  • Run the deployment script: ./k8s-aion.sh.
  • Provide alphanumeric passwords for pgadmin and postgres when prompted.
  • After all services are running, update ingress IP or domain details in the deployment YAMLs.
  • Apply the updated configurations using:

    • Bash :

      helm upgrade aion-v2.0.2 . -n <namespace> --debug

      (Optional) Delete all pods to refresh services:

    • Bash :

      kubectl delete po --all -n <namespace>
