Infrastructure
Helm is a package manager that allows you to easily install and manage OpenSearch in a Kubernetes cluster. You can define your OpenSearch configurations in a YAML file and use Helm to deploy your applications in a version-controlled and reproducible way.
The Helm chart contains the resources described in the following table.
Chart.yaml
Information about the chart.
values.yaml
Default configuration values for the chart
templates
Templates that combine with values to generate the Kubernetes manifest files
For information about the default configuration, steps to configure security, and configurable parameters, see the README.
The instructions here assume you have a Kubernetes cluster with Helm preinstalled. See the Kubernetes documentation for steps to configure a Kubernetes cluster and the Helm documentation to install Helm.
Prerequisites
The default Helm chart deploys a cluster. We recommend that you have at least 8 GiB of memory available for this deployment. You can expect the deployment to fail if, say, you have less than 4 GiB of memory available.
