Requirements

In order to use this chart to deploy Apache Pulsar on Kubernetes, the followings are required.

  1. kubectl 1.14 or higher, compatible with your cluster (+/- 1 minor release from your cluster)
  2. Helm v3 (3.0.2 or higher)
  3. A Kubernetes cluster, version 1.14 or higher.

Environment setup

Before proceeding to deploying Pulsar, you need to prepare your environment.

Tools

helm and kubectl need to be installed on your computer.

Add to local Helm repository

To add this chart to your local Helm repository:

helm repo add streamnative https://charts.streamnative.io

To use the helm chart:

helm install <release-name> streamnative/pulsar

Kubernetes cluster preparation

You need a Kubernetes cluster whose version is 1.14 or higher in order to use this chart, due to the usage of certain Kubernetes features.

We provide some instructions to guide you through the preparation for the following cloud providers.

Deploy Pulsar to Kubernetes

  1. Clone the StreamNative Helm charts repository.

    git clone https://github.com/streamnative/charts.git
    cd charts
  2. Run prepare_helm_release.sh to create required kubernetes resources for installing this Helm chart.

    • A k8s namespace for installing the Pulsar release (if -c is specified)
    • Create a secret for storing the username and password of control center administrator. The username and password can be passed to the script by specifying flags --control-center-admin and --control-center-password. The username and password are used for logging into Grafana dashboard and Pulsar Manager.
    • Create the JWT secret keys and tokens for three superusers: broker-admin, proxy-admin, and admin. By default, it generates asymmeric pubic/private key pair. You can choose to generate symmeric secret key by specifying --symmetric in the following command.
      • proxy-admin role is used for proxies to communicate to brokers.
      • broker-admin role is used for inter-broker communications.
      • admin role is used by the admin tools.
    ./scripts/pulsar/prepare_helm_release.sh -n <k8s-namespace> -k <pulsar-release-name> -c
  3. Add loki Helm Charts repository and update charts.

    $ helm repo add loki https://grafana.github.io/loki/charts
    $ helm dependency update pulsar
  4. Use the Pulsar Helm charts to install StreamNative Platform.

    This command installs and starts StreamNative Platform.

    $ helm install <pulsar-release-name> streamnative/pulsar
  5. Access the Pulsar cluster

    The default values will create a ClusterIP for the proxy you can use to interact with the cluster. To find the IP address of proxy use:

    kubectl get service -n <k8s-namespace>

For more information, please follow our detailed quick start guide.

Customize the deployment

We provide a detailed guideline for you to customize the Helm Chart for a production-ready deployment.

You can also checkout out the example values file for different deployments.

Upgrading

Once your Pulsar Chart is installed, configuration changes and chart updates should be done using helm upgrade.

helm repo add streamnative https://charts.streamnative.io/
helm repo update
helm get values <pulsar-release-name> > pulsar.yaml
helm upgrade <pulsar-release-name> streamnative/pulsar -f pulsar.yaml

For more detailed information, see our Upgrading guide.

Uninstall

To uninstall the Pulsar Chart, run the following command:

helm delete <pulsar-release-name>

For the purposes of continuity, these charts have some Kubernetes objects that are not removed when performing helm delete. These items we require you to conciously remove them, as they affect re-deployment should you choose to.

  • PVCs for stateful data, which you must consciously remove
    • ZooKeeper: This is your metadata.
    • BookKeeper: This is your data.
    • Prometheus: This is your metrics data, which can be safely removed.
  • Secrets, if generated by our prepare release script. They contain secret keys, tokens, etc. You can use cleanup release script to remove these secrets and tokens as needed.

Troubleshooting

We've done our best to make these charts as seamless as possible, occasionally troubles do surface outside of our control. We've collected tips and tricks for troubleshooting common issues. Please examine these first before raising an issue, and feel free to add to them by raising a Pull Request!
