Helm chart overview
To extensively customize the settings of your Gloo Mesh Core installation, you can use the gloo-platform and gloo-platform-crds Helm charts.
Installation Helm chart
All components for a full Gloo Mesh Core installation are available in the gloo-platform Helm chart.
Helm installations allow for extensive customization of Gloo settings, and are suitable for proof-of-concept or production setups. Within the gloo-platform chart, you can find the configuration options for all components in the following sections.
| Component section | Description |
|---|---|
clickhouse | Configuration for the Clickhouse deployment, which stores logs from Gloo telemetry collector agents. See the Bitnami Clickhouse Helm chart for the complete set of values. |
common | Common values shared across components. When applicable, these can be overridden in specific components. |
demo | Demo-specific features that improve quick setups. Do not use in production. |
experimental | Deprecated: Use featureGates fields instead. |
extAuthService | Configuration for the Gloo external authentication service. |
featureGates | Experimental features for Gloo. Disabled by default. |
glooAgent | Configuration for the Gloo agent. |
glooAnalyzer | Configuration for the Gloo analyzer, which gathers data on Gloo and Istio components. |
glooInsightsEngine | Configuration for the Gloo insights engine, which creates Solo insights. |
glooMgmtServer | Configuration for the Gloo management server. |
glooNetwork | Gloo Network agent configuration options. |
glooPortalServer | Configuration for the Gloo Portal server deployment. |
glooSpireServer | Configuration for the Gloo Spire server deployment. |
glooUi | Configuration for the Gloo UI. |
istioInstallations | Configuration for deploying managed Istio control plane and gateway installations by using the Istio lifecycle manager. The istioInstallations Helm settings can be helpful for simple use cases to set up Istio quickly, such as single cluster Gloo Mesh Gateway demos. Otherwise, install Istio by using the IstioLifecycleManager and GatewayLifecycleManager custom resources. |
jaeger | Configuration for the Gloo Jaeger instance. |
licensing | Gloo product licenses. |
postgresql | Configuration for Gloo PostgreSQL instance. |
prometheus | Helm values for configuring Prometheus. See the Prometheus Helm chart for the complete set of values. |
rateLimiter | Configuration for the Gloo rate limiting service. |
redis | Configuration for the default Redis instance. |
telemetryCollector | Configuration for the Gloo telemetry collector agents. See the OpenTelemetry Helm chart for the complete set of values. |
telemetryCollectorCustomization | Optional customization for the Gloo telemetry collector agents. |
telemetryGateway | Configuration for the Gloo telemetry gateway. See the OpenTelemetry Helm chart for the complete set of values. |
telemetryGatewayCustomization | Optional customization for the Gloo telemetry gateway. |
You can see all possible fields that you can set for the chart by running the following command.
helm show values gloo-platform/gloo-platform --version v2.5.12 > all-values.yaml
For more information about each field, see the Helm values documentation. To set up Gloo Mesh Core with Helm, see the advanced installation guide.
CRD Helm chart
All CRDs that are required for a Gloo Mesh Core installation are available in the gloo-platform-crds Helm chart.
By default, this Helm chart installs all CRDs that are available in Gloo, including CRDs that you can use only if you have a Gloo Mesh Enterprise or Gloo Mesh Gateway license. To install only the CRDs that are relevant to Gloo Mesh Core, set installEnterpriseCrds to false. To see all CRD installation options, see the Helm values documentation.
When you set installEnterpriseCrds to false, the following CRDs are installed:
certificaterequests.internal.gloo.solo.io
dashboards.admin.gloo.solo.io
discoveredcnis.internal.gloo.solo.io
discoveredgateways.internal.gloo.solo.io
gatewaylifecyclemanagers.admin.gloo.solo.io
issuedcertificates.internal.gloo.solo.io
istiolifecyclemanagers.admin.gloo.solo.io
kubernetesclusters.admin.gloo.solo.io
meshes.internal.gloo.solo.io
podbouncedirectives.internal.gloo.solo.io
workspaces.admin.gloo.solo.io
workspacesettings.admin.gloo.solo.io
xdsconfigs.internal.gloo.solo.io
If you already installed the chart, you can run kubectl get crds -A | grep gloo.solo.io to see the installed CRDs.
