Cohesity Cloud Scale Technology Manual Deployment Guide for Kubernetes Clusters

Prerequisites for using private registry

For registries that require repositories to be created manually before pushing images, ensure that the necessary repositories are set up in advance. Additionally, when using a private registry with your Cloud Scale deployment, you must manually create a registry access secret in each relevant namespace, such as the operator and environment namespaces, to enable successful pushing and pulling of images and Helm charts.

To deploy trust-manager using private registry

  1. Create kubernetes secret in trust-manager namespace using the following command:

    kubectl create secret docker-registry demo-secret --namespace trust-manager --docker-server=nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com --docker-username=<username_for_registry> --docker-password=<password_for_registry>

  2. Run the following command to download the helm chart:

    helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io

    helm repo update

    helm pull jetstack/trust-manager --version v0.19.0 (Download the Helm chart for trust-manager version v0.19.0 locally.)

  3. Push the required images to your private registry:

    Note:

    Ensure that the docker login is done for the private registry prior to pushing the images.

    Syntax (pull, tag, push):

    docker pull <source-registry>/<image-name>:<tag>

    docker tag <source-registry>/<image-name>:<tag> <target-registry>/<image-name>:<tag>

    docker push <target-registry>/<image-name>:<tag>

    For example:

    docker pull quay.io/jetstack/cert-manager-package-debian:20210119.0
    docker tag quay.io/jetstack/cert-manager-package-debian:20210119.0 nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/cert-manager-package-debian:20210119.0
    docker push nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/cert-manager-package-debian:20210119.0
     
    docker pull quay.io/jetstack/trust-manager:v0.19.0
    docker tag quay.io/jetstack/trust-manager:v0.19.0 nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/trust-manager:v0.19.0
    docker push nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/trust-manager:v0.19.0
  4. Deploy trust-manager using the following command:

    helm upgrade -i -n trust-manager trust-manager ./trust-manager-v0.19.0.tgz \

    --set image.repository=nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/trust-manager \

    --set image.tag=v0.19.0 \

    --set imagePullSecrets[0].name=demo-secret \

    --set app.trust.namespace=nbux \ --wait

  5. Run the following commands to list and verify if the trust-manager is installed:

    helm list -n trust-manager

    NAME             NAMESPACE       REVISION  UPDATED            STATUS     CHART                  APP VERSION
    trust-manager    trust-manager   1         <Date and Time>   deployed   trust-manager-v0.19.0    v0.19.0
    

    kubectl get pods -n trust-manager

    NAME                             READY   STATUS     RESTARTS    AGE 
    trust-manager-####47cc6c-949v6   1/1     Running     0          26m

To deploy cert-manager using private registry

  1. Create kubernetes secret in cert-manager namespace using the following command:

    kubectl create secret docker-registry demo-secret --namespace cert-manager --docker-server=nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com --docker-username=<username_for_registry> --docker-password=<password_for_registry>

  2. Run the following command to download the helm chart:

    helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io

    helm repo update

    helm pull jetstack/cert-manager --version 1.18.2 (Download the Helm chart for cert-manager version v1.18.2 locally.)

  3. Push the required images to your private registry:

    Note:

    Ensure that the docker login is done for the private registry prior to pushing the images.

    Syntax (pull, tag, push):

    docker pull <source-registry>/<image-name>:<tag>

    docker tag <source-registry>/<image-name>:<tag> <target-registry>/<image-name>:<tag>

    docker push <target-registry>/<image-name>:<tag>

    For example,

    docker pull quay.io/jetstack/cert-manager-controller:v1.18.2
    docker pull quay.io/jetstack/cert-manager-webhook:v1.18.2
    docker pull quay.io/jetstack/cert-manager-cainjector:v1.18.2
     
    docker tag quay.io/jetstack/cert-manager-controller:v1.18.2 nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/cert-manager-controller:v1.18.2
    docker tag quay.io/jetstack/cert-manager-webhook:v1.18.2 nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/cert-manager-webhook:v1.18.2 
    docker tag quay.io/jetstack/cert-manager-cainjector:v1.18.2 nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/cert-manager-cainjector:v1.18.2
     
    docker push nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/cert-manager-controller:v1.18.2 
    docker push nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/cert-manager-webhook:v1.18.2 
    docker push nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/cert-manager-cainjector:v1.18.2
  4. Deploy cert-manager using the following command:

    helm upgrade -i -n cert-manager cert-manager ./cert-manager-v1.18.2.tgz \

    --set image.repository=nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/cert-manager-controller \

    --set image.tag=v1.18.2 \

    --set webhook.image.repository=nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/cert-manager-webhook \

    --set webhook.image.tag=v1.18.2 \

    --set cainjector.image.repository=nbk8s-bo.nbartifactory.rsv.ven.cohesity.com/cert-manager-cainjector \

    --set cainjector.image.tag=v1.18.2 \

    --set global.imagePullSecrets[0].name=demo-secret \

    --set webhook.timeoutSeconds=30 \

    --set installCRDs=true \

    --wait

  5. Run the following commands to list and verify if the cert-manager is installed:

    helm list -n cert-manager

    NAME             NAMESPACE       REVISION   UPDATED            STATUS     CHART                  APP VERSION
    cert-manager     cert-manager    1         <Date and Time>     deployed   cert-manager-v1.18.2    v1.18.2
    kubectl get pods -n trust-manager 
    NAME                             READY    STATUS     RESTARTS    AGE 
    cert-manager-####4466d-lzgvg      1/1     Running     0          14m
    cert-manager-####d7754-jrd8n      1/1     Running     0          14m
    cert-manager-####d88bb-c79cc      1/1     Running     0          14m
