Prepare

Before installing Zenko, you must have a working, appropriately sized server or cluster running with a live Kubernetes instance. The instructions here will guide you to a baseline configuration that supports a Zenko installation in either a high-availability cluster or a single-node Zenko instance.

Topology

Deploying Zenko in a single-server context reduces hardware cost and complexity, and offers Zenko features in a small footprint, but single-server deployment sacrifices high availability: a single server is a single point of failure.

Deploying Zenko on a single server requires deploying Kubernetes on this server, and ensuring that the endpoints and containers it administers are available to it from that server.

Once Zenko is installed, Kubernetes manages system operations on all servers. You will manage and reconfigure Zenko using Helm commands.
