Install & ConfigureKubeFlex Hosting clusterInitialize KubeFlex Hosting cluster

Initializing the KubeFlex hosting cluster

The KubeFlex  implementation has to be installed in the cluster chosen to play the role of KubeFlex hosting cluster. This can be done in any of the following ways.

Bundled with cluster creation

As mentioned earlier, there are a couple of ways to both create the hosting cluster and initialize it for KubeFlex in operation.

kflex init

The following command will install the KubeFlex implementation in the cluster that kubectl is configured to access, if you have sufficient privileges.

Using an existing OpenShift cluster as the hosting cluster

When the hosting cluster is an OpenShift cluster, the recipe for registering a WEC with the ITS (to be written) needs to be modified. In the clusteradm command, omit the --force-internal-endpoint-lookup flag. If following Getting Started literally, this means to define flags="" rather than flags="--force-internal-endpoint-lookup".

KubeStellar core Helm chart

The KubeStellar core Helm chart will install the KubeFlex implementation in the cluster that kubectl is configured to access, as well as create ITSes and WDSes.
