stackablectl release

A release is a bundle of operators of a specific stable version. The stable versions of the operators are tested and proven to work hand in hand. If you want to install a single individual operator, look at the stackablectl operator command.

If you don’t have a Kubernetes cluster available, stackablectl can spin up a kind or minikube Kubernetes cluster for you. Based on the type of local cluster you want to use, ensure you have either kind or minikube installed on your system. See here for more information.

$ stackablectl release install 23.7 -c kind
