Set Up Pulse Databases
Pulse supports multiple database deployment models for Kubernetes environments.
Choose the database deployment model that matches your infrastructure requirements.
Database Deployment Options
Deployment Model | Description |
External database nodes | Deploy Pulse database services on dedicated virtual machines (VMs) or bare-metal hosts. Use this option when database services are managed outside the Kubernetes cluster. |
Kubernetes-based deployment | Deploy Pulse database services within the Kubernetes cluster by using Helm charts. Use this option when you want to manage database services as Kubernetes workloads. |
Choose a Deployment Model
- Deploy databases on dedicated VMs or bare-metal hosts
- Use this deployment model when Pulse runs on Kubernetes and the database services run on separate hosts.
- Set up PulseManager Agent on the database hosts. For details, see Deploy Pulse Manager Agent.
- Setting up the PulseManager service on database hosts does not deploy the database containers. Deploy the database containers separately from the Accelo Manager workflow.
- Deploy databases on Kubernetes
- Use this deployment model when database services run within the Kubernetes cluster.
- For details, see Deploy Pulse Databases via Helm.
