Introduction

This documentation serves to provide additional reference material and examples related to use of the Ignition Helm Chart. For additional information on Ignition itself, see the Ignition User Manual.

What is the Ignition Helm Chart?

The Ignition Helm Chart provides a standardized way to deploy an Ignition Gateway on a Kubernetes cluster. Installing a release of the chart can deploy either a standalone gateway, a redundant pair, or a set of frontend gateways behind a load balancer.

Additionally, the chart can be used as a building block for defining and deploying more complex architectures.

Why use it?

If you're deploying other applications to Kubernetes, you're likely already using Helm. This chart helps deploy Ignition using the same tooling as your other apps. Avoid rolling your own YAML manifests and take advantage of Inductive Automation's innate knowledge of Ignition to deliver a more stable and supported deployment.

Where can I find it?

This documentation will guide you on how to use the chart via our repository. If you're interested in looking at the chart in more detail, you can either download the chart with helm pull or you can browse the source code via the ignition-helm-chart repository.
