Instana U

Hi Quyet,

Below are my notes from a few versions ago when I deployed Instana, which should still be relevant. I also recommend checking the official documentation:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/current?topic=installing-instana-backend#creating-secrets

We need to create a TLS certificate, which is required for the correct installation and operation of Instana. The generated certificate is added as a secret.

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout tls.key -out tls.crt -days 365 -nodes -subj "/CN=test"
kubectl create secret tls instana-tls --namespace instana-core --cert=tls.crt --key=tls.key
kubectl label secret instana-tls app.kubernetes.io/name=instana -n instana-core

For the remaining steps, please specify your issues.

Thank for your support,
I tryed but i have a problem with apply core.yaml 
Do you have any instructions about deploy instana server on OCP?

Hi Quyet

Our standard edition is much faster and simpler to install than the full custom deployment.

Why did you choose custom? Standard can serve up to 6000 hosts and while there is a little bit less redundancy, this can be mitigated with a good DR strategy (or even some kind of real HA) imho. 

Best regards

Hi Tom,
Thank for your response

I have installed the standard edition many times and also on docker, but my customer is very interested in instana server development on OCP. so now I'm trying it out.
