Installing Konfidence

Konfidence is installed from a single Helm chart. Together with it, you install the Kubernetes landscape orchestrator, which deploys your workloads into the cluster.

For a local test cluster, use the Quickstart instead — it sets up a kind cluster with everything installed.

Prerequisites

• a Kubernetes cluster and kubectl access to it
• Helm with OCI registry support (3.8 or later)

Install

Set the Konfidence version and target namespace:

export KONFIDENCE_VERSION=0.0.1-alpha.1
export KONFIDENCE_NAMESPACE=konfidence-system

Install the Gateway API CRDs:

kubectl apply --server-side -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/releases/download/v1.4.1/standard-install.yaml

Install Flux and wait for the source controller to become available:

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/releases/latest/download/install.yaml

kubectl wait deployment/source-controller \
  --namespace flux-system \
  --for=condition=Available \
  --timeout=180s

Install Konfidence:

helm upgrade --install konfidence oci://ghcr.io/konfidence-project/charts/konfidence \
  --version "$KONFIDENCE_VERSION" \
  --namespace "$KONFIDENCE_NAMESPACE" \
  --create-namespace \
  --set image.repository=ghcr.io/konfidence-project/konfidence-operator \
  --set image.tag="$KONFIDENCE_VERSION" \
  --wait

Install the Kubernetes landscape orchestrator:

helm upgrade --install kubernetes-landscape-orchestrator oci://ghcr.io/konfidence-project/charts/kubernetes-landscape-orchestrator \
  --version "$KONFIDENCE_VERSION" \
  --namespace "$KONFIDENCE_NAMESPACE" \
  --create-namespace \
  --set image.repository=ghcr.io/konfidence-project/kubernetes-landscape-orchestrator \
  --set image.tag="$KONFIDENCE_VERSION" \
  --wait

Verify the installation

kubectl get deployments -n konfidence-system

You should see konfidence and kubernetes-landscape-orchestrator available.
