Installation

There are 2 ways to install Stackable operators on a Kubernetes cluster.

  • stackablectl

  • Helm

stackablectl is the command line tool to interact with Stackable operators and the recommended way to install operators. Follow the installation steps for your platform.

After you have installed stackablectl run the following command to install the OPA operator:

stackablectl operator install opa=24.11.1-rc2

The tool prints

Installed opa=24.11.1-rc2 operator
Consult the Quickstart to learn more about how to use stackablectl. For example, you can use the --cluster kind flag to create a Kubernetes cluster with kind.

You can also use Helm to install the operator. Add the Stackable Helm repository:

helm repo add stackable-stable https://repo.stackable.tech/repository/helm-stable/

Then install the Stackable OPA operator:

helm install --wait opa-operator stackable-stable/opa-operator --version 24.11.1-rc2

Helm deploys the operator in a Kubernetes Deployment and apply the CRDs for the OPA service.

What’s next

Deploy OPA, a policy rule and query it.
