Preparing for deployment

Before deploying Yellowfin on Kubernetes, make sure you’ve chosen which type of deployment suits your requirements. In our examples, we’ve  deployed Yellowfin in a Kubernetes environment via Kubectl. We chose Kubectl because it’s a free command line tool to interact with the Kubernetes control plane (the master node), which is well documented, but you can choose a different tool if you have a preference. 

Although Yellowfin on Kubernetes will run without it, we highly recommend your environment uses a reverse proxy capable of handling load balancing and sticky session support. We’ve provided deployment steps for environments with proxies (using Traefik) and environments without proxies.  

Pre-requisites 

Before deploying Yellowfin on Kubernetes, you will need 

• a running Kubernetes cluster;
• Kubectl installed on your workstation/deployment system;
• an understanding of Application Server Security; and,
• an understanding of reverse proxies and load balancing in a container environment.
