Selling and provisioning of applications distributed as Helm Charts on Kubernetes clusters

This feature is ALPHA and is subject to changes

Cloudesire platform enables the selling of applications packaged as Helm charts on top of Kubernetes clusters, managed by the platform or not, leveraging the customer Cloud Credentials and the Cloud Service capabilities of the platform.

Product configuration

ISVs can onboard a new Helm chart as a new Product using Cloud Service as a product type and providing as a syndication endpoint, the endpoint to the helm-connector module installed on the platform (ask to the platform administrators).

The product must be also configured to require Cloud Credentials and Kubernetes as a provider.

The information of which chart needs to be installed on the cluster, should be set as an Integration Metadata on the Product Plans (one or more).

The available integration metadatas are:

• helm-chart: the name of the chart, e.g. bitnami/kubeapps
• helm-load-balancer-setup: if set to any value, a load balancer is automatically enabled after the chart is successfully installed
• helm-service-account-setup: if the application supports the authentication through a service account token, you can force the creation of the service account that will be automatically provided to the customer in the end-user instructions

Customize individual chart values

Any values that need to be passed to the chart, can be provided with a helm- prefix and a SpEL payload, e.g.:

Key: helm-apprepository Value:

{"initialRepos": {"name": "custom-repo", "url": "https://chartmuseum.mycompany.com/"}}
