Zilla Gateway Deployment on Kubernetes

Zilla Gateway Deployment on Kubernetes

This guide describes how to deploy a Zilla Platform Gateway on a self-managed Kubernetes cluster.

This page assumes that the Zilla Platform Control & Management plane has already been deployed and initialized.

Prerequisites

  • Zilla Platform deployed
  • Zilla Platform bootstrap token
  • Kubernetes cluster (v1.25+)
  • kubectl and helm installed

Create the Environment Namespace

Create a dedicated Kubernetes namespace for the environment:

kubectl create namespace <ENVIRONMENT_NAME>

Deploy the Gateway

Deploy the gateway using the environment Helm chart:

helm install <ENVIRONMENT_NAME> oci://ghcr.io/aklivity/charts/zilla-platform-environment \
  -n <ENVIRONMENT_NAME> \
  -f environment-values.yaml \
  --set bootstrapToken="${BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN}" \
  --set platformURI="https://platform.${DOMAIN}" \
  --set licenseKey="${ZILLA_PLATFORM_LICENSE_KEY}" \

Verify Deployment

kubectl get pods -n <ENVIRONMENT_NAME>
