4.2.9 Creating a Kubernetes Namespace and Secret

Create a Kubernetes namespace and secret for the deployment.

1. Run the following command to create a Kubernetes namespace for the deployment:

   kubectl create namespace <namespace>

   For example:

   kubectl create namespace oaans

   Note:

   The namespace given will be used later in the parameter common.kube.namespace=oaans in the installOAA.properties.
2. Create a Kubernetes secret for your Container Image Registry (CIR) in the OAA namespace. This is required so the management container pod can push images to your CIR and so the OAA/OARM/OUA deployment can pull images from your CIR.

   kubectl create secret docker-registry dockersecret --docker-server=<CONTAINER_REGISTRY> \
    --docker-username='<USER_NAME>' \
   --docker-password='<PASSWORD>' \
   --docker-email='<EMAIL_ADDRESS>' \
   --namespace=<namespace>

   For example:

   kubectl create secret docker-registry dockersecret --docker-server=container-registry.example.com \
   --docker-username="[e-mail]" \
   --docker-password=<PASSWORD> --docker-email=[e-mail] \
   --namespace=oaans

   Note:

   The secret name dockersecret will be used later in the parameter install.global.imagePullSecrets\[0\].name in the installOAA.properties.
