Activate ES for Multi-Cluster

This guide deploys Enterprise Server as a standalone cluster within a multi-cluster deployment.

Before You Start #

There are a few minor differences to note when deploying an Enterprise Server when compared to a standard Pachyderm cluster:

• No deployment target is necessary in your Helm chart since there is no object store
• The Enterprise Server cluster contains the dex database
• Each registered cluster requires its own PostgresSQL pachyderm database

How to Activate Enterprise for Multi-Cluster #

1. Create a separate Kubernetes namespace dedicated to your enterprise server:

kubectl create namespace enterprise-server
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=enterprise-server

1. Create a Helm chart enterprise-server-values.yml file for your enterprise server (see Helm Chart Reference Guide).
2. Deploy the Enterprise Server cluster:

helm install enterprise-server pachyderm/pachyderm --f enterprise-server-values.yml

1. Verify deployment:

kubectl get all --namespace enterprise-server
