Update the Helm repository and use Helm to install Kong Operator with self-managed Control Plane.
kong namespaceCreate the kong namespace in your Kubernetes cluster, which is where the demo will run:
kubectl create namespace kong
Add the Kong Helm charts:
helm repo add kong https://charts.konghq.com
helm repo update
Install Kong Operator using Helm:
helm upgrade --install kong-operator kong/kong-operator -n kong-system \
--create-namespace \
--set image.tag=2.0.5 \
--set env.ENABLE_CONTROLLER_KONNECT=true
helm upgrade --install kong-operator kong/kong-operator -n kong-system \
--create-namespace \
--set image.tag=2.0.5
If you want cert-manager to issue and rotate the admission and conversion webhook certificates, install cert-manager to your cluster and enable cert-manager integration by passing the following argument while installing:
--set global.webhooks.options.certManager.enabled=true
If you do not enable this, the chart will generate and inject self-signed certificates automatically. We recommend enabling cert-manager to manage the lifecycle of these certificates.
This tutorial doesn’t require a license, but you can add one using KongLicense. This assumes that your license is available in ./license.json.
echo "
apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1alpha1
kind: KongLicense
metadata:
name: kong-license
rawLicenseString: '$(cat ./license.json)'
" | kubectl apply -f -
kubectl -n kong-system wait --for=condition=Available=true --timeout=120s deployment/kong-operator-kong-operator-controller-manager
You should see the following content on stdout:
deployment.apps/kong-operator-kong-operator-controller-manager condition met
Check the return code of the command to make sure it completed successfully:
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "Did not receive the expected return code"
