Generate the specs

To install Portworx with Kubernetes, you must generate Kubernetes manifests that you will deploy in your cluster.

Navigate to Portworx Central and log in, or create an account, then follow the process to generate a spec.

note

If you're using a cloud provider and you use the Customize option when generating your spec, do not add volumes of different types when configuring storage devices during spec generation. For example, do not add both GP2 and GP3 for AWS, standard and ssd for GCP, or Standard and Premium for Azure. This can cause performance issues and errors.

Deploy the Operator

To deploy the Operator, run the command that Portworx Central provided, which looks similar to the following:

kubectl apply -f 'https://install.portworx.com/<portworx_version>?comp=pxoperator&kbver=<k8s-version>&ns=portworx'

serviceaccount/portworx-operator created
podsecuritypolicy.policy/px-operator created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/portworx-operator created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/portworx-operator created
deployment.apps/portworx-operator created

Deploy the StorageCluster

To deploy the StorageCluster, run the command that Portworx Central provided, which looks similar to the following:

kubectl apply -f “https://install.portworx.com/<portworx_version>?operator=true&mc=false&kbver=1.25.0&ns=portworx&b=true&kd=type%3Dgp3%2Csize%3D150&s=%22type%3Dgp3%2Csize%3D150%22&c=px-cluster-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-2ac5fb8069e0&stork=true&csi=true&mon=true&tel=false&st=k8s&promop=true'
