Helm

The easiest way to install a redis operator is using Helm chart. The operator helm chart is developed on the helm=>3.0.0version.

$ # Deploy the redis-operator
$ helm repo add ot-helm https://ot-container-kit.github.io/helm-charts/
$ helm upgrade redis-operator ot-helm/redis-operator --install --namespace redis-operator

After deployment, verify the installation of operator

$ # Testing the redis operator
$ helm test redis-operator --namespace redis-operator

If you are a beginner with Kubernetes and don’t want to go in the complexity of Helm, you can use the beloved tool of Kubernetes client like kubectl.

$ kubectl apply -f deploy/crds/redis.opstreelabs.in_redis_crd.yaml

Configure RBAC for Operator

$ kubectl apply -f deploy/service_account.yaml
$ kubectl apply -f deploy/role_binding.yaml
