Introduction

This chapter demonstrates how to deploy Oracle Unified Directory 12c instance(s) using the Helm package manager for Kubernetes. Helm Chart(s) described here can be used to facilitate installation, configuration, and environment setup within a Kubernetes environment.

Install Helm

Helm can be used to create and deploy the Oracle Unified Directory resources in a Kubernetes cluster. For Helm installation and usage information, refer to the README.

Deploy an Application using the Helm Chart

The helm install command is used to deploy applications to a Kubernetes environment, using the Helm Chart supplied.

$ helm install [Deployment NAME] [CHART Reference] [flags]

For example:

$ helm install my-oud-ds-rs oud-ds-rs --namespace oudns

Undeploy an Application using the Helm Chart

To uninstall an application deployed using a Helm chart you need to identify the release name and then issue a delete command:

To get the release name:

$ helm --namespace <namespace> list

For example:

$ helm --namespace oudns list
NAME                    NAMESPACE       REVISION        UPDATED                                 STATUS          CHART                   APP VERSION
my-oud-ds-rs-           oudns        1               2020-03-31 10:37:30.616927678 -0700 PDT deployed        oud-ds-rs-12.2.1.4.0    12.2.1.4.0

To delete the chart:

$ helm uninstall --namespace <namespace> <release>

For example:

$ helm uninstall --namespace oudns my-oud-ds-rs
release "my-oud-ds-rs" uninstalled
