gardener-helmfile

Deployment of gardener with the helm charts via helmfile.

This will not deploy a functional gardener setup, it is only a reference for the minimal set of values needed when deploying gardener with the helm charts.

Don’t run this on clusters exposed to the internet

Usage

You need to have the following installed:

• helmfile
• helm
• helm-git

You need to have a kubectl context garden and a context seed for the garden and seed clusters respectively.

Run

git clone https://github.com/gardener/gardener.git /tmp/gardener

Export the required environment variables (check seed.yaml and garden.yaml). In this deployment, AWS Route53 is used for DNS, so you need to specify valid AWS access credentials with write access to your BASE_DOMAIN zone. BASE_DOMAIN does not need to be a top-level domain.

Then, run helmfile diff and helmfile apply if you’re happy with the diff.

If you want to use this to deploy a fully functional setup, you need to:

• Deploy the needed controller registrations for your environment
• Deploy a bootstrap token for the gardenlet to the garden cluster and set it in line 37 of seed.yaml.
• Deploy CloudProfiles to use with the configured seed
