Install or Upgrade with the Helm Chart

The official Redpanda Connect Helm chart lets you deploy and manage Redpanda Connect on Kubernetes.

Install with Helm

To deploy Redpanda Connect on Kubernetes, use the official Helm chart:

helm repo add redpanda https://charts.redpanda.com
helm repo update
helm install redpanda-connect redpanda/connect --namespace <namespace> --create-namespace

Replace <namespace> with your desired Kubernetes namespace.

See Get Started with the Redpanda Connect Helm Chart for a full walkthrough and configuration options.

Upgrade with Helm

To upgrade Redpanda Connect to a newer Helm chart version:

  1. Ensure your Helm repository is updated to fetch the latest version of the Redpanda Helm chart:

    helm repo update

  2. Upgrade your existing deployment using the helm upgrade command:

    helm upgrade redpanda-connect redpanda/connect --namespace <namespace> --values <your-values-file>

    Replace <your-values-file> with the path to your custom configuration file.

Roll back an upgrade

If an upgrade introduces issues, you can roll back to a previous release. Helm retains previous deployments, allowing you to roll back with the helm rollback command:

helm rollback redpanda-connect <revision-number> --namespace <namespace>

To find the revision number, use the helm history command:

helm history redpanda-connect --namespace <namespace>

This command lists previous deployments and their revision numbers.

Uninstall

To uninstall Redpanda Connect from your Kubernetes cluster:

helm uninstall redpanda-connect --namespace <namespace>

Replace <namespace> with the namespace where Redpanda Connect was installed.
