Kubernetes Requirements

info

• Kubernetes cluster v1.20-v1.26
• Deployed cert-manager resources
• Deployed metrics-server resources
• Deployed Ingress Controller as traefik or nginx-ingress with default IngressClass set
• Deployed Persistent Volume Provisioner as Longhorn or local-path providing a default StorageClass. Access mode ReadWriteMany (RWX) is preferred.
• [Optional] An external load-balancer solution in conjunction with an Ingress controller is needed for exposing Epinio HTTP(S) workload on Internet. More information here.

Default IngressClass

Although there are some ingress controllers that can work without the definition of a default IngressClass, it is recommended to use the default IngressClass (with the annotation ingressclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: "true").

Default StorageClass

A default StorageClass (with annotation storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: "true") is needed.
