Production Deployment Workflow for Kubernetes

The production deployment tasks involve Kubernetes administrators (admins) as well as Kubernetes users.

To try Redpanda on a local Kubernetes cluster for development or testing, see the guide for kind or minikube instead.
  1. All: Review the requirements and recommendations to align on prerequisites.

  2. Admin: Tune the worker nodes for best performance.

  3. User: Deploy Redpanda using either the Redpanda Operator or the Redpanda Helm chart.

  4. All: Validate production readiness using the comprehensive checklist to ensure your deployment meets production standards.
