This section describes how to run Enonic XP on a Kubernetes cluster.
XP operator
Running Enonic XP on Kubernetes is a great way to achieve scalability, high availability and ease of management. Kubernetes deployments are generally based on the XP Docker image.
The recommended way to deploy XP on Kubernetes is to use the XP Operator, which provides a Kubernetes-native way to manage XP instances.
| For detailed documentation, see the XP Operator documentation. |
Benefits of using the XP Operator include:
-
Lifecycle management - handles the deployment, scaling, configuration and management of XP instances on the K8S cluster.
-
Custom resources - working with the operator involves creating custom resources that define the desired state of your XP instance, and the operator will take care of the rest.
-
Ingress integration - natively integrated with K8S ingresses, making it easy to expose your XP instance to the outside world.
