Set up your cloud environment so that the Secure Agent can connect to a Kubernetes cluster and use it as a self-service cluster in your organization.
Complete the following tasks:
1Complete the prerequisites. Verify that you have the necessary privileges and learn about resource access in the cloud environment.
2Create a Kubernetes cluster to use as the self-service cluster.
3Download and install a Secure Agent. Set up the agent on a virtual machine that meets the minimum resource requirements.
4Allow domains. The cluster requires to access certain domains to fetch artifacts and to access sources and targets.
5Create a Kubernetes ClusterRole with permissions that allow access to Kubernetes cluster resources like Pods and ConfigMaps. You can also create a combination of a ClusterRole and Role to further restrict permissions.
6Create a storage role to allow the Secure Agent and the self-service cluster to store staging data and log files.
7Configure access to data sources to allow the self-service cluster to read and write data in mappings.
To use a self-service cluster on AWS, perform additional steps, including configuring cluster authentication.
