Verrazzano

This section provides support for installing Verrazzano in the target Kubernetes cluster. For detailed information about Verrazzano, see the Verrazzano documentation.

Design View

Design View helps you specify the data needed to install Verrazzano to manage WebLogic domains in one or more Kubernetes namespaces. To install Verrazzano, simply provide values for the following fields:

  • Install Name - The name to give the Verrazzano object during installation.
  • Install Profile - The Verrazzano installation profile; the choices are: Dev (default) and Production.
  • Release Version - Required. Select the desired Verrazzano release version.
  • Install Jaeger - Optional. Select whether to install the Jaeger transaction tracing component. If selected, then provide the percentage of Istio requests to be traced in Jaeger in the Istio Tracing Sampling Rate field.

Code View

Install Script displays a shell script that you can use as a starting point for automating the installation of Verrazzano into Kubernetes.

If it is not already selected, then use the Script Language drop-down menu to choose the desired scripting language. Note that the application is providing a working sample script to show how the process might be automated. Before using the script, review the script and make any changes necessary for your environment. One typical change that would be considered a best practice would be to change the script to accept either command-line arguments or externally set environment variables to specify any credentials required by the script to eliminate hard-coding the credentials in the script itself. This change is left as an exercise for you because different environments typically will have existing standards for securely handling such credentials.

Verrazzano Resource displays the Verrazzano resource definition that you’ve specified.

Install Verrazzano

Install Verrazzano installs Verrazzano in the target Kubernetes cluster. You access this action by using the Install Verrazzano button on the Installation page or the Go > Install Verrazzano menu item.

Check Verrazzano Installation Status

Initial Verrazzano installation proceeds quickly, however, reaching completion takes a somewhat longer time. Use the Check Verrazzano Install Status button or the Go > Check Verrazzano Install Status menu item to monitor its progress.
