WSO2 product Docker images used for the Kubernetes deployment.
WSO2 product Docker images available at DockerHub package General Availability (GA) versions of WSO2 products with no WSO2 Updates.
For a production grade deployment of the desired WSO2 product-version, it is highly recommended to use the relevant Docker image which packages WSO2 Updates, available at WSO2 Private Docker Registry. In order to use these images, you need an active WSO2 Subscription.
-
Install Git, Helm and Kubernetes client in order to run the steps provided in the following quick start guide.
-
An already setup Kubernetes cluster.
-
Install NGINX Ingress Controller.
-
Add the WSO2 Helm chart repository.
helm repo add wso2 https://helm.wso2.com && helm repo update
You can install the relevant Helm chart either from WSO2 Helm Chart Repository or by source.
Note:
NAMESPACE
should be the Kubernetes Namespace in which the resources are deployed.
Install Chart From WSO2 Helm Chart Repository
Helm version 2
helm install --name <RELEASE_NAME> wso2/am-single-node --version 4.1.0-1 --namespace <NAMESPACE>
Helm version 3
-
Deploy the Kubernetes resources using the Helm Chart
helm install <RELEASE_NAME> wso2/am-single-node --version 4.1.0-1 --namespace <NAMESPACE> --create-namespace
The above steps will deploy the deployment pattern using WSO2 product Docker images available at DockerHub.
If you are using WSO2 product Docker images available from WSO2 Private Docker Registry,
please provide your WSO2 Subscription credentials via input values (using --set
argument).
Please see the following example.
helm install --name <RELEASE_NAME> wso2/am-single-node --version 4.1.0-1 --namespace <NAMESPACE> --set wso2.subscription.username=<SUBSCRIPTION_USERNAME> --set wso2.subscription.password=<SUBSCRIPTION_PASSWORD>
In the context of this document,
KUBERNETES_HOME
will refer to a local copy of thewso2/kubernetes-apim
Git repository.HELM_HOME
will refer to<KUBERNETES_HOME>/simple
.
git clone https://github.com/wso2/kubernetes-apim.git
Helm version 2
helm install --dep-up --name <RELEASE_NAME> <HELM_HOME>/am-single --version 4.1.0-1 --namespace <NAMESPACE>
Helm version 3
-
Deploy the Kubernetes resources using the Helm Chart
helm install <RELEASE_NAME> <HELM_HOME>/am-single --version 4.1.0-1 --namespace <NAMESPACE> --dependency-update --create-namespace
The above steps will deploy the deployment pattern using WSO2 product Docker images available at DockerHub.
If you are using WSO2 product Docker images available from WSO2 Private Docker Registry,
please provide your WSO2 Subscription credentials via input values (using --set
argument).
Please see the following example.
helm install --name <RELEASE_NAME> <HELM_HOME>/am-single --version 4.1.0-1 --namespace <NAMESPACE> --set wso2.subscription.username=<SUBSCRIPTION_USERNAME> --set wso2.subscription.password=<SUBSCRIPTION_PASSWORD>
If you need to enable Choreo Analytics with WSO2 API Manager, please follow the documentation on Register for Analytics to obtain the on-prem key for Analytics.
The following example shows how to enable Analytics with the helm charts.
Helm v2
helm install --name <RELEASE_NAME> wso2/am-single-node --version 4.1.0-1 --namespace <NAMESPACE> --set wso2.choreoAnalytics.enabled=true --set wso2.choreoAnalytics.endpoint=<CHOREO_ANALYTICS_ENDPOINT> --set wso2.choreoAnalytics.onpremKey=<ONPREM_KEY>
Helm v3
helm install <RELEASE_NAME> wso2/am-single-node --version 4.1.0-1 --namespace <NAMESPACE> --set wso2.choreoAnalytics.enabled=true --set wso2.choreoAnalytics.endpoint=<CHOREO_ANALYTICS_ENDPOINT> --set wso2.choreoAnalytics.onpremKey=<ONPREM_KEY> --create-namespace
You will be able to see the Analytics data when you log into Choreo Analytics Portal.
Obtain the external IP (EXTERNAL-IP
) of the API Manager Ingress resources, by listing down the Kubernetes Ingresses.
kubectl get ing -n <NAMESPACE>
The output under the relevant column stands for the following.
API Manager Publisher-DevPortal
- NAME: Metadata name of the Kubernetes Ingress resource (defaults to
wso2am-single-node-am-ingress
) - HOSTS: Hostname of the WSO2 API Manager service (
<wso2.deployment.am.ingress.management.hostname>
) - ADDRESS: External IP (
EXTERNAL-IP
) exposing the API Manager service to outside of the Kubernetes environment - PORTS: Externally exposed service ports of the API Manager service
API Manager Gateway
- NAME: Metadata name of the Kubernetes Ingress resource (defaults to
wso2am-single-node-am-gateway-ingress
) - HOSTS: Hostname of the WSO2 API Manager's Gateway service (
<wso2.deployment.am.ingress.gateway.hostname>
) - ADDRESS: External IP (
EXTERNAL-IP
) exposing the API Manager's Gateway service to outside of the Kubernetes environment - PORTS: Externally exposed service ports of the API Manager' Gateway service
API Manager WebSub
- NAME: Metadata name of the Kubernetes Ingress resource (defaults to
wso2am-single-node-am-websub-ingress
) - HOSTS: Hostname of the WSO2 API Manager's Gateway (WebSub) service (
<wso2.deployment.am.ingress.websub.hostname>
) - ADDRESS: External IP (
EXTERNAL-IP
) exposing the API Manager's Gateway service to outside of the Kubernetes environment - PORTS: Externally exposed service ports of the API Manager' Gateway (WebSub) service
If the defined hostnames (in the previous step) are backed by a DNS service, add a DNS record mapping the hostnames and
the external IP (EXTERNAL-IP
) in the relevant DNS service.
If the defined hostnames are not backed by a DNS service, for the purpose of evaluation you may add an entry mapping the
hostnames and the external IP in the /etc/hosts
file at the client-side.
<EXTERNAL-IP> <wso2.deployment.am.ingress.management.hostname> <wso2.deployment.am.ingress.gateway.hostname>

API Manager Publisher:
https://<wso2.deployment.am.ingress.management.hostname>/publisher
