Cohesity Cloud Scale Technology Manual Deployment Guide for Kubernetes Clusters

Overview

The Health Checker is a diagnostic capability integrated into the kubectl-cloudscale plugin. It executes a collection of validation checks to ensure that Cloud Scale Kubernetes infrastructure components are properly installed, reachable, and correctly configured. This tool helps both support teams and users quickly identify root causes during troubleshooting.

When to run health checks:

  • Before deployment (pre-deployment)

  • After deployment (post-deployment)

  • Before performing upgrades (pre-upgrade)

You can execute all checks, target a specific category, or run individual checks by name depending on your requirements.

Prerequisites:

  • Installed kubectl and Helm charts.

  • A container runtime such as Podman or Docker.

  • Access to a functional Kubernetes cluster.

Command:

Use the following command to run the health checks:

kubectl cloudscale health-check

You can run the health check command in multiple ways. For more information on the available options, section.
