This step explains how to download and installcert-manager, required for Apigee hybrid to operate.
Installations on AnthosYou do not need to install cert-manager if you are performing a fresh installation on one of the following Anthos platforms:
- Anthos on-premises - (VMware)
- Anthos on Bare Metal
Anthos comes with its own version of cert-manager. Apigee can use this Anthos version of cert-manager. If it is installed in a namespace other thancert-manager, you will need to include the namespace with thecertManager.namespace property in your overrides file. For more information about Anthos and cert-manager, seeConflicting cert-manager installation.
Installations on OpenShift
If you are installing Apigee hybrid on OpenShift, install cert-manager by following the instructions inInstallation in the cert-manager documentation.
See aKnown Issue about cert-manager version 1.10 on OpenShift.
Install cert-manager
- Use the following command to install cert-manager v1.11.1 from GitHub.
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.11.1/cert-manager.yaml
You should see a response that the cert-manager namespace and several cert-manager resources have been created. For example:
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/certificaterequests.cert-manager.io configuredcustomresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/certificates.cert-manager.io configured...mutatingwebhookconfiguration.admissionregistration.k8s.io/cert-manager-webhook configuredvalidatingwebhookconfiguration.admissionregistration.k8s.io/cert-manager-webhook configured
- Use the following command to verify the successful creation of cert-manager namespace and its corresponding components:
kubectl get all -n cert-manager -o wide
Your output should be similar to the following example. You should see pods for
cert-manager,cert-manager-cainjector, andcert-manager-webhook.NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE NOMINATED NODE READINESS GATES pod/cert-manager-abcd1234-7hkt9 1/1 Running 0 35s 10.20.x.x gke-hybrid-on-apigee-data-abcd1234-3d54
