STAP Cloud Native Deployment Toolkit Components

The STAP CNTK is an archive file which provides default configuration files and scripts for deploying STAP.

The toolkit includes the following:
  • Ready-to-use Helm charts to help you orchestrate containers in Kubernetes.
  • Configuration files (values.yaml) to configure and manage STAP microservices: Test Data Service, Test Execution Service, and STAP UI.
  • Ready-to-use scripts to create and manage secrets for STAP microservices.
  • Images containing STAP microservices.

About the STAP Cloud Native Deployment Toolkit Artifacts

Each of the microservices, TDS, TES, and UI, has the following artifacts in the CNTK:
  1. Image: Use the tarred image to deploy the respective STAP microservice in a Kubernetes cloud native deployment.
  2. Helm Chart: Use Helm charts to orchestrate the deployment of the respective STAP microservice.
  3. Scripts: Use scripts to generate Kubernetes secrets, which securely encode and mount sensitive credentials and files to the respective STAP microservice.
