Prerequisites

Before getting started with Percona Everest, we recommend that you:

  1. Install Helm v3 to install Percona Everest using Helm.

  2. Install yq to install Percona Everest using Helm.

  3. Verify that you can access the Kubernetes cluster you want to use with Everest. By default, Everest uses the kubeconfig file available under ~/.kube/config. Run the following command:

    kubectl get nodes
    Expected output 
        NAME                                       STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
    gke-<name>-default-pool-75d48bfc-bx8g      Ready    <none>   11h   v1.26.7-gke.500
    gke-<name>-default-pool-75d48bfc-c2df      Ready    <none>   11h   v1.26.7-gke.500
    gke-<name>-default-pool-75d48bfc-zl7k      Ready    <none>   11h   v1.26.7-gke.500

Important

Percona Everest assists with installing all the necessary operators and packages but does not currently help spin up a publicly accessible Kubernetes cluster.

We recommend setting up Percona Everest on the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Due to network issues, Percona Everest may not work as expected on local Kubernetes installations (minikube, kind, k3d, or similar products).

Create EKS cluster Create GKE cluster
