Installation

There are 2 ways to install Stackable operators on a Kubernetes cluster.

  • stackablectl

  • Helm

stackablectl is the command line tool to interact with Stackable operators and our recommended way to install operators. Follow the installation steps for your platform.

After you have installed stackablectl run the following command to install the OPA operator:

stackablectl operator install opa=0.0.0-dev

The tool will show

Installed opa=0.0.0-dev operator
Consult the Quickstart to learn more about how to use stackablectl. For example, you can use the --cluster kind flag to create a Kubernetes cluster with kind.

You can also use Helm to install the operator. Add the Stackable Helm repository:

helm repo add stackable-dev https://repo.stackable.tech/repository/helm-dev/

Then install the Stackable OPA operator:

helm install --wait opa-operator stackable-dev/opa-operator --version 0.0.0-dev

Helm will deploy the operator in a Kubernetes Deployment and apply the CRDs for the OPA service. You are now ready to deploy OPA in Kubernetes.

What’s next

Deploy OPA, a policy rule and query it.
