Gekko using Kubernetes

Install with HELM

Follow this flow to install and configure the Gekko for in-depth evaluation or production use.

This installation flow uses Helm charts that provide rich customization of the Gekko configuration.

Prerequisites

1. Kubernetes 1.13 or above.
2. Helm v2.13 or above.

Installation Steps

Installing using the upgrade command:

# helm upgrade --install [RELEASE] [CHART]
helm upgrade --install platform ./helm/jspare-gekko-platform

Installing an unstable version of Gekko:

# helm upgrade --install [RELEASE] [CHART]
helm upgrade --install platform ./helm/jspare-gekko-platform --set gekko.version=unstable

Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the gekko chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install.

In terms of Memory resources you should make sure that you follow that equation:

• ${role}HeapSize < ${role}MemoryRequests < ${role}MemoryLimits

The YAML value of cluster.config is appended to elasticsearch.yml file for additional customization ("script.inline: on" for example to allow inline scripting)

Uninstall:

If you installed Gekko using the helm command, uninstall with the following command:

helm delete --purge platform
