Deploy on Kubernetes

Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool that helps you to manage Redpanda cluster deployments using declarative configuration files called manifests. Kubernetes provides a standardized way of achieving high availability, disaster recovery, and scalability.

  • Overview

    Learn about Redpanda in Kubernetes and the tools that are available.

  • Production Deployment Workflow

    The production deployment tasks involve Kubernetes administrators (admins) as well as Kubernetes users. The admin prepares the cluster with the prerequisites and tunes the worker nodes. The user deploys and configures Redpanda.

    • Kubernetes Cluster Requirements

      This topic is a checklist with the prerequisites and system requirements for installing production Redpanda in a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm chart.

    • Best Practices

      This topic explains Redpanda's tips and recommendations for Kubernetes deployments.

    • Tune Worker Nodes

      To get the best performance from your hardware, set Redpanda to production mode on each worker node and run the autotuner tool. The autotuner identifies the hardware configuration on your worker node and optimizes the Linux kernel to give you the best performance.

    • Deploy Redpanda

      This topic describes how to use the Redpanda Helm chart to deploy a Redpanda cluster on Kubernetes.

  • Guides
