Helm Charts

Helm Charts help define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes application.

Helm helps you manage Kubernetes applications. Charts are easy to create, version, share, and publish. For information on Helm, see https://helm.sh/.

IBM now provides a helm chart that can be used to deploy an ISAM environment. The helm chart is available from the IBM Security charts repository in GitHub: https://github.com/IBM-Security/helm-charts/tree/master/stable/ibm-sam. This chart allows deployment of a complete ISAM environment, including the following containers:

• Configuration

• WebSEAL
• Runtime
• Distributed Session Cache
• PostgreSQL Database (although this should only be used in test environments - an external database should always be used in production environments)

The following diagram shows the components of the ibm-sam Helm chart:

• Multiple web reverse proxy instances can be created;
• The Distributed Session Cache will support a primary/secondary instance (active-passive);
• Each of the containers will retrieve configuration information from the configuration service of the configuration container.

Additional information can be found in the README.md file provided with the Helm chart.
