Downloading HCL CDP Artifacts

This section explains how to download the required images and Helm charts from the MHS Portal.

About this task

Start by downloading all the necessary Cloud Native CDP images from the MHS Portal. These images are essential for the deployment process. The Cloud Native CDP images, by default, include charts that are pre-configured with application resources.

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 where you plan to deploy the CDP.

Procedure

  1. Download the required HCL CDP artifacts from MHS. Contact the support team to obtain the Helm charts.
  2. Import the downloaded Docker images for all the products.
  3. Verify all product images are loaded and available for use.
  4. Tag the images appropriately.
  5. Push the images to the Docker registry.
  6. Push the product Helm charts to the container registry.
