Downloading HCL CDP Artifacts

This page explains on how to download the required images and charts from Flex Net Operations (FNO).

Start by downloading all the necessary Cloud Native CDP images from the FNO (Field Network Operations). These images are essential for the deployment process. The Cloud Native CDP images, by default, include charts that are pre-configured with application resources. These charts simplify the deployment process.

Before proceeding with the implementation of Cloud Native CDP, ensure that the Cloud Native environment is properly set up. This environment is crucial for running the platform smoothly. The downloaded charts use Helm as a package manager for Kubernetes. Helm is responsible for managing, updating, and deploying the charts on the Kubernetes cluster. The Helm charts deploy the CDP components onto the specified Kubernetes cluster, allowing the platform to function as expected.

After downloading, extract the ZIP file to a designated location on the cloud VM (Virtual Machine) where you plan to deploy the CDP. This location will serve as the base for managing and deploying the platform components.

By following this sequence, you'll be able to successfully set up and deploy the Cloud Native CDP platform on OpenShift.

  1. Download the required HCL CDP artifacts from Flex Net Operations (FNO). To roll out the Helm charts, you must specify the offering-related details and requirements. Contact support team to get a Helm chart.
  2. To import the downloaded Docker images for all the products, run the following command.
    docker load -i product_image_name.tar
  3. To verify all products images are loaded and available for use, run the following command.
    docker images
  4. To tag the images appropriately, run the following command.
    docker tag SOURCE_IMAGE[:TAG] TARGET_IMAGE[:TAG]
  5. To push the images to the docker registry, run the following command.
    docker push TARGET_IMAGE[:TAG]
  6. To push the product helm charts to container registry, run the following command.
    helm push product_chart_name.tgz oci://container_registry_path
