HCL Component Pack on managed Kubernetes

This documentation provides information and installation guidelines to get HCL Connections Component Pack running on a managed Kubernetes service on one of the main cloud providers.

Create an HCL Component Pack installation on minikube

The installation on minikube is just for prove of concept installations or for very little environments where no high availability is needed.

This instructions are like a cook book. You can follow them and you will get the desired result when you environment is the same as mine. This instructions were build using a EC2 instance in a payed account on AWS without any restrictions. When you are in a corporate environment the instructions should work on a virtual or physical server as well.

The infrastructure requires as little as possible resources. A Free Tier or Trial Account in AWS is not sufficient to install the whole Component Pack components. Please use a large enough server.

  1. Create your minikube environment
  2. Create your Kubernetes environment
  3. Prepare cluster
  4. Install Component Pack
  5. Integration
  6. Customizer
  7. Deploy additional features
