Configuration and Deployment
Using Kubernetes to host Posit Connect service and content execution
Overview
After completing the steps outlined within this document, you should have a Kubernetes cluster which hosts a long-running Posit Connect deployment and in which content containers are executed in response to requests from clients.
It’s important to note that this guide may not be suitable for all environments. In some instances you may need to deviate from the guide. In particular, your organization might have strict requirements about certificate management, storage, or ingress that prevent you from following some of these steps. If this is the case, check out these examples to see if there is one that better matches your requirements.
To use the Remote Execution feature of Posit Connect (in new or existing installations), you will need to perform the following steps:
- Planning and Analysis
- Kubernetes Cluster Preparation
- Configure your Helm Chart values
- Kubernetes Configuration / Deployment
- Post-deployment
This guide assumes that the reader has a working knowledge of Kubernetes and the use of Helm Charts.
