1: Preparing to install
2: Installing on Kubernetes
3: Installing on OpenShift
4: Uninstalling on Kubernetes
5: Uninstalling on OpenShift

1 - Preparing to install

Setup for the necessary tools to install the operator.

Prerequisites

Get familiarized with the architecture reading this section.
The Secret provided by AstroKube to access the Image Registry.
The Secret provided by AstroKube with the license key.

Cluster requiremenets

Supported platforms

Astronetes Resiliency Operator is vendor agnostic meaning that any Kubernetes distribution such as Google Kubernetes Engine, Azure Kubernetes Service, OpenShift or self-managed bare metal installations can run it.

This is the certified compatibility matrix:

Platform	Min Version	Max Version
AKS	1.24	1.29
EKS	1.24	1.28
GKE	1.24	1.28
OpenShift Container Platform	4.11	4.14

Permissions

To install the Resiliency Operator on a cluster, you need to have Cluster Admin permissions in that cluster.

The Resiliency Operator needs read access to the assets being protected and read/write access to the backup assets. Refer to plugin documentation for details.

Kubernetes requirements

Software

Official kubernetes.io client CLI kubectl.

Networking

Allow traffic to the Image Registry quay.io/astrokube using the mechanism provided by the chosen distribution.

OpenShift requirements

Software

Official OpenShift client CLI.

Networking

Add quay.io/astrokube to the allowed registries in the Image configuration.

apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
kind: Image
metadata:
    ...
spec:
  registrySources: 
    allowedRegistries: 
    ...
    - quay.io/astrokube

2 - Installing on Kubernetes

Steps to install the Resiliency Operator in Kubernetes

Prerequisites

Review the documenation about preparing for the installation.
The pull-secret.yaml Secret provided by AstroKube to access the Image Registry.
The license-key.yaml` Secret provided by AstroKube with the license key.
Install cert-manager and prometheus in cluster

Process

1. Create Namespace

Create the Namespace where the operator will be installed:

oc create namespace resiliency-operator

2. Setup registry credentials

Create the Secret that stores the credentials to the AstroKube image registry:

oc -n resiliency-operator create -f pull-secret.yaml

3. Setup license key

Create the Secret that stores the license key:

oc -n resiliency-operator create -f license-key.yaml

4. Install the operator

Install the CRDs:

oc apply -f https://astronetes.io/deploy/resiliency-operator/v1.3.5/crds-kubernetes.yaml

Install the operator:

oc -n resiliency-operator apply -f https://astronetes.io/deploy/resiliency-operator/v1.3.5/operator-kubernetes.yaml

3 - Installing on OpenShift

Steps to install the Resiliency Operator in OpenShift

Prerequisites

Review the documenation about preparing for the installation.

Process

1. Create Namespace

Create the Namespace where the operator will be installed:

oc create namespace resiliency-operator

2. Setup registry credentials

Create the Secret that stores the credentials to the AstroKube image registry:

oc -n resiliency-operator create -f pull-secret.yaml

3. Setup license key

Create the Secret that stores the license key:

oc -n resiliency-operator create -f license-key.yaml

4. Install the operator

Install the CRDs:

oc apply -f https://astronetes.io/deploy/resiliency-operator/v1.3.5/crds-openshift.yaml

Install the operator:

oc -n resiliency-operator apply -f https://astronetes.io/deploy/resiliency-operator/v1.3.5/operator-openshift.yaml

4 - Uninstalling on Kubernetes

Steps to uninstall the Resiliency Operator on Kubernetes

Process

1. Delete Operator objects

Delete the synchronizations from the cluster:

oc delete livesynchronizations.automation.astronetes.io -A --all

oc delete synchronizations.automation.astronetes.io -A --all

Delete the assets from the cluster:

oc delete buckets.assets.astronetes.io -A --all
oc delete databases.assets.astronetes.io -A --all
oc delete kubernetesclusters.assets.astronetes.io -A --all

2. Remove the operator

Delete the operator:

oc -n resiliency-operator delete -f https://astronetes.io/deploy/resiliency-operator/v1.3.5/operator-kubernetes.yaml

Delete the CRDs:

oc delete -f https://astronetes.io/deploy/resiliency-operator/v1.3.5/crds-kubernetes.yaml

3. Remove registry credentials

Delete the Secret that stores the credentials to the AstroKube image registry:

oc -n resiliency-operator delete -f pull-secret.yaml

4. Remove license key

Delete the Secret that stores the license key:

oc -n resiliency-operator delete -f license-key.yaml
