Abiquo OpenShift

Abiquo OpenShift is used to discover Helm charts.

Requirements

  • A recent OpenShift installation (using Helm integration); check that a Helm repository is available

Default configuration

  • Connection parameters: You will need the URL for the OpenShift installation, and the Console URL (because the helm integration is through the UI), and a token for the OpenShift account

  • Namespace: projects in OpenShift (which are like Kubernetes namespaces) provide a mechanism for isolating groups of resources

Entities

  • Either use enterprise as in Kubernetes service

  • Or use different installations at the datacenter level and configure projects for each location (datacenter + enterprise), so that the VDCs will use the installation provided by the DC and the namespace/project specific for each enterprise

Subservices
