Creating the Component Cluster is necessary when deploying CloudBlue Commerce with any of its extensions.

Creating the Component Cluster

Note: Deployment of platform components to a Kubernetes cluster ensures high availability, better manageability, updatability, deployment, and scalability of your platform components. For clean CloudBlue Commerce installations, create the Component Cluster first and then proceed with the rest of the CloudBlue Commerce installation procedure.

To create the Component Cluster (by creating an k8s cluster), use one of these ways:

  1. Learn about the various possible k8s cluster creation approaches described on the Kubernetes website.
  2. Choose the best possible option based on your needs and objectives. You can also use:

For your CloudBlue Commerce installation to be manageable by Kubernetes:

  • Use a Kubernetes version supported by CloudBlue Commerce. To obtain a list of supported Kubernetes versions, please refer to Appendix: Supported Kubernetes Versions.
  • Configure role-based access control (RBAC) for your k8s cluster. Use applicable documentation for your cloud environment.
  • Ensure network connectivity between your CloudBlue Commerce back-net and the Kubernetes nodes.
