Tools and Command Line Utilities

Prior to installing the Istari Digital Platform (and after completing the Infrastructure Prerequisites) the next steps are to install the AWS CLI, Kubectl, Helm, and then configure AWS access and Kubectl to use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service.

Other Cloud Providers
  • The Istari Digital Platform currently supports AWS and Azure as cloud providers.
  • Support for other cloud providers is under development. The Istari Digital Platform will be available on other cloud providers in the future.

Installing AWS CLI, Kubectl, and Helm​

Install AWS CLI

Consult AWS documentation for more information on installing the AWS CLI.

Install Kubectl

Consult Kubernetes documentation for more information on installing kubectl.

Install Helm

Consult helm installation for more information on installing helm.

Configure AWS Access​

Ensure that the AWS CLI has access to the AWS account that is going to be used. This can be done in several ways:

  1. AWS Access keys: Use access keys for a user with the necessary permissions for required service
  2. AWS SSO login: Use AWS SSO for a user with access to required services.

Please refer to the AWS documentation on how to configure the AWS CLI to access the account being used to install the Istari Digital application.

Configure Kubectl to Use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service​

To interact with the EKS Cluster service in AWS, the kubectl CLI must be configured to connect to the Kubernetes cluster. Please consult the AWS documentation for more information.
