Management Plane

ManagementPlane resource exposes a set of configurations necessary to automatically install the Service Bridge management plane on a cluster. The installation API is an override API so any unset fields that are not required will use sensible defaults.

Prior to creating the ManagementPlane resource, verify that the following secrets exist in the namespace the management plane will be installed into:

• tsb-certs
• ldap-credentials
• custom-host-ca (if you are using TLS connection and need a custom CA to connect to LDAP host)
• postgres-credentials (non-demo deployments)
• admin-credentials
• es-certs (if your Elasticsearch is using a self-signed certificate)
• elastic-credentials (if your Elasticsearch backend requires authentication)

A resource containing only the container registry hub will install a demo of Service Bridge, create a tenant called Tetrate and install local instances of external dependencies, such as Postgres, Elasticsearch, and LDAP server.
Please note that these local instances are for demonstrative purposes only and should not be used in production. Production setups should point to a user managed Postgres and Elasticsearch as well as the enterprise LDAP server.

apiVersion: install.tetrate.io/v1alpha1
kind: ManagementPlane
metadata:
  name: managementplane
spec:
  hub: docker.io/tetrate

To move from the demo installation to production readiness, configure the top level settings that enable TSB to connect to external dependencies. When one of these settings stanzas are added the operator will delete the relevant demo component and configure the management plane to talk to the dependencies described.

Top level settings deal with higher level concepts like persistence, but some configuration can also be overridden per component. For example, to configure the team synchronization schedule in the API server, set the schedule field in the apiServer component

apiVersion: install.tetrate.io/v1alpha1
kind: ManagementPlane

      issuers:
      - name: https://jwt.tetrate.io
        algorithm: RS256
        signingKey: tls.key

To configure infrastructure specific settings such as resource limits on the deployment in Kubernetes, set the relevant field in a component. Remember that the installation API is an override API so if these fields are unset the operator will use sensible defaults. Only a subset of Kubernetes configuration is available and only for individual components.
