Installing Kruise

Kruise features CustomResourceDefinition resources in Kubernetes that you can use to automate app deployment and updates. Kruise tools work in Kubernetes clusters without installing any other dependencies.

Kruise advantages include:

• Advanced sidecar container management.
• High app availability.
• Updating apps without deleting pods.
• Advanced configuration for distributing load across the cluster nodes.

Installation using Yandex Cloud MarketplaceInstallation using Yandex Cloud Marketplace

1. Navigate to the folder dashboard and select Managed Service for Kubernetes.

2. Click the name of the Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster you need and select the Marketplace tab.

3. Under Application available for installation, select Kruise and click Go to install.

4. Configure the application:

   • Namespace: Create a new namespace, e.g., kruise-space. If you leave the default namespace, Kruise may work incorrectly.
   • Application name: Specify the application name.

5. Click Install.

6. Wait for the application to change its status to Deployed.

Installation using a Helm chartInstallation using a Helm chart

1. Install Helm v3.8.0 or higher.

2. Install kubect and configure it to work with the new cluster.

3. To install a Helm chart with Kruise, run the following command:

   helm pull oci://cr.yandex/yc-marketplace/yandex-cloud/kruise/chart/kruise \
     --version 1.5.0 \
     --untar && \
   helm install \
     --namespace <namespace> \
     --create-namespace \
     kruise ./kruise/
   

   If you set namespace to the default namespace, Kruise may work incorrectly. We recommend you to specify a value different from all existing namespaces (e.g., kruise-space).

   Note

   If you are using a Helm version below 3.8.0, append the export HELM_EXPERIMENTAL_OCI=1 && \ string to the command to enable Open Container Initiative (OCI) support in the Helm client.

You can check the current version of the Helm chart on the application page.
