About Helm Charts for TimesTen

TimesTen provides TimesTen Helm charts in its container images. You have several options for obtaining container images and downloading the Helm charts from these container images. The examples assume that you have downloaded the charts into the kube_files/helm directory. See Prepare to Use the TimesTen Kubernetes Operator.

The following charts are included in the TimesTen container images's helm directory:

• ttcrd: Install the TimesTen Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) into the Kubernetes cluster.

• ttoperator: Installs the TimesTen Operator.

• ttclassic: Creates TimesTen databases.

Each chart requires a different level of authority. As a result, the charts are packaged as separate charts so they can be installed with appropriate privileges. In addition, a single TimesTen Operator can simultaneously create and manage multiple TimesTen databases. Because the relationship between TimesTen Operators and TimesTen databases is not one to one, there is a ttoperator chart for installing the TimesTen Operator and a separate ttclassic chart for creating TimesTen databases.
