Helm¶
F5 CNFs support the helm package manager. Create a deplpoyment using a helm chart along with a values file which contains implementation specific details.
Install the User Plane CNF
$ helm install --values f5-cnf/cnf_1tmm.yaml f5-ctrl f5-cnf/f5ingress-0.90.7.tgz
This command creates a new kubernetes pod, named “f5-ctrl” using the Helm chart defined in the tarball (.tgz) file. The deployment can be customised using values from an appropriate YAML configuration file.
Observe the deployment within the SSH session running k9s. A CNF is deployed with several Pods. Note the time for all pods to reach the “running” state.
