Setup Wizard

Overview

The Humanitec setup wizard is a CLI tool designed to help you easily connect one of your clusters to the Humanitec Platform Orchestrator .

The wizard guides you through a series of steps to create all the objects in the Platform Orchestrator required for deploying a workload to a Kubernetes cluster provided by you. It also creates resources in the target cloud necessary for identity and access management. It is able to clean up all resources after use.

The wizard currently supports these cloud providers and cluster types:

  • AWS with Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
  • Azure with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
  • Google Cloud with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

How it works

The setup wizard makes use of the Humanitec CLI (humctl) to access the Platform Orchestrator as well as the respective CLI tool for the target cloud provider. It performs all actions using the locally logged-in principal of each tool.

Limitations

The setup wizard is designed as a run-once tool to enable deploying workloads via the Platform Orchestrator to your target cluster very quickly. It is not designed to perform ongoing maintenance, or modifications, to the objects created both in the Orchestrator and in your cloud. As all state is stored locally, it also does not support team collaboration.

Get started

The setup wizard is hosted in a public GitHub repository. All usage instructions are provided in the README .
