Introduction

This chapter informs you how to install InfoScale on a Kubernetes cluster.

On Kubernetes systems, installer files and container images must be downloaded from the Arctera Download Center. Commands are run from the master node of a Kubernetes cluster.

Note:

As InfoScale supports HyperConverged architecture, all worker nodes that are a part of Kubernetes cluster must be used for creating an InfoScale cluster. Arctera InfoScale™ is deployed on all the worker nodes you specify in the Custom Resource yaml file.
