Install ULM 9

Deploy ULM 9 into a private cloud environment via the required Helm charts. Make a copy of each microservice’s values.yaml file and edit the file with your organization’s information to upload into the cluster. Preconditions:

Kubernetes configured with an image pull Secret completed
Docker images installed

Landscape is installed first because every microservice depends on it, in addition to the inter-microservice communication with either the Platform or OpenID Connect microservices. A best practice is to install the following Helm charts in this order:

Order	Helm Chart	Description
1.	ULM Landscape	Prepares in-cluster resources and the required third-party components
2.	ULM Platform	The core ULM base product, bundled with ULM’s APIs and the Process Framework
3.	ULM OpenID Connect	Also known as ulmid-oidc, this chart provides ULM’s support for the OpenID Connect specification
4.	All other microservices	Depends on the organization’s requirements

Note: If one of the remaining microservices fails to start due to a dependency issue, Kubernetes continues to restart the microservice until all dependencies are resolved.

Pull the specific helm chart (microservice) from the repository and decompress the archive.
- $ helm repo update
- $ helm pull <repo>/<release name> --version <version> --untar Example: $ helm pull <repo>/ulm-platform-your-private-cloud --version <1.16> --untar
Note: Review the associated README.md file for more chart details.
Make a copy of the microservice’s values.yaml file and edit it with the required settings.
Install the new values.yaml file and associated Helm chart via the command: helm install <release name> <repo>/<microservice chart> --version <version> --namespace <namespace> --values values.yaml Example:helm install <abc-ulm-platform-ms> <repo>/ulm-platform-ms-private-cloud --version <2023.04.135> --namespace <abc-ulm> --values yourvalues.yaml
Save a copy of the microservice’s values.yaml file (file is used for future upgrades).
Repeat this process (Steps 1-4) for each Helm chart.

All the helm charts installed successfully and a ULM 9 instance is released and operating in your cluster.

“	The repository name submitted when the chart repository was configured via the `helm repo add`command.
“	The specific version of the chart to install. See the version matrix from the latest ULM 9 Release Notes.
“	Defines the namespace to install the chart into. If you’re using the default namespace, this parameter can be omitted.
