# Deploying DataHub with Kubernetes
## Introduction
Helm charts for deploying DataHub on a kubernetes cluster is located in
this [repository](https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-helm). We provide charts for
deploying [Datahub](https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-helm/tree/master/charts/datahub) and
it's [dependencies](https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-helm/tree/master/charts/prerequisites)
(Elasticsearch, optionally Neo4j, MySQL, and Kafka) on a Kubernetes cluster.
This doc is a guide to deploy an instance of DataHub on a kubernetes cluster using the above charts from scratch.
## Setup
1. Set up a kubernetes cluster
- In a cloud platform of choice like [Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/eks),
[Google Kubernetes Engine](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine),
and [Azure Kubernetes Service](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/kubernetes-service/) OR
- In local environment using [Minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/). Note, more than 7GB of RAM is required
to run Datahub and it's dependencies
2. Install the following tools:
- [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) to manage kubernetes resources
- [helm](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/) to deploy the resources based on helm charts. Note, we only support
Helm 3.
## Components
Datahub consists of 4 main components: [GMS](https://docs.datahub.com/docs/metadata-service),
[MAE Consumer](https://docs.datahub.com/docs/metadata-jobs/mae-consumer-job) (optional),
[MCE Consumer](https://docs.datahub.com/docs/metadata-jobs/mce-consumer-job) (optional), and
[Frontend](https://docs.datahub.com/docs/datahub-frontend). Kubernetes deployment for each of the components are
defined as subcharts under the main
[Datahub](https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-helm/tree/master/charts/datahub)
helm chart.
The main components are powered by 4 external dependencies:
- Kafka
- Local DB (MySQL, Postgres, MariaDB)
- Search Index (Elasticsearch)
- Graph Index (Supports either Neo4j or Elasticsearch)
The dependencies must be deployed before deploying Datahub. We created a separate
[chart](https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-helm/tree/master/charts/prerequisites)
for deploying the dependencies with example configuration. They could also be deployed separately on-prem or leveraged
as managed services. To remove your dependency on Neo4j, set enabled to false in
the [values.yaml](https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-helm/blob/master/charts/prerequisites/values.yaml#L54) for
prerequisites. Then, override the `graph_service_impl` field in
the [values.yaml](https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-helm/blob/master/charts/datahub/values.yaml#L63) of datahub
instead of `neo4j`.
## Quickstart
Assuming kubectl context points to the correct kubernetes cluster, first create kubernetes secrets that contain MySQL
and Neo4j passwords.
```(shell)
kubectl create secret generic mysql-secrets --from-literal=mysql-root-password=datahub
kubectl create secret generic neo4j-secrets --from-literal=neo4j-password=datahub
```
The above commands sets the passwords to "datahub" as an example. Change to any password of choice.
Add datahub helm repo by running the following
```(shell)
helm repo add datahub https://helm.datahubproject.io/
```
Then, deploy the dependencies by running the following
```(shell)
helm install prerequisites datahub/datahub-prerequisites
```
Note, the above uses the default configuration
defined [here](https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-helm/blob/master/charts/prerequisites/values.yaml). You can change
any of the configuration and deploy by running the following command.
```(shell)
helm install prerequisites datahub/datahub-prerequisites --values <<path-to-values-file>>
```
Run `kubectl get pods` to check whether all the pods for the dependencies are running. You should get a result similar
to below.
```
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
elasticsearch-master-0 1/1 Running 0 62m
elasticsearch-master-1 1/1 Running 0 62m
elasticsearch-master-2 1/1 Running 0 62m
prerequisites-cp-schema-registry-cf79bfccf-kvjtv 2/2 Running 1 63m
prerequisites-kafka-0 1/1 Running 2 62m
prerequisites-mysql-0 1/1 Running 1 62m
prerequisites-neo4j-community-0 1/1 Running 0 52m
prerequisites-zookeeper-0 1/1 Running 0 62m
```
deploy Datahub by running the following
```(shell)
helm install datahub datahub/datahub
```
Values in [values.yaml](https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-helm/blob/master/charts/datahub/values.yaml)
have been preset to point to the dependencies deployed using
the [prerequisites](https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-helm/tree/master/charts/prerequisites)
chart with release name "prerequisites". If you deployed the helm chart using a different release name, update the
quickstart-values.yaml file accordingly before installing.
Run `kubectl get pods` to check whether all the datahub pods are running. You should get a result similar to below.
```
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
datahub-datahub-frontend-84c58df9f7-5bgwx 1/1 Running 0 4m2s
datahub-datahub-gms-58b676f77c-c6pfx 1/1 Running 0 4m2s

prerequisites-mysql-0 1/1 Running 1 97m
prerequisites-neo4j-community-0 1/1 Running 0 88m
prerequisites-zookeeper-0 1/1 Running 0 97m
```
You can run the following to expose the frontend locally. Note, you can find the pod name using the command above. In
this case, the datahub-frontend pod name was `datahub-datahub-frontend-84c58df9f7-5bgwx`.
```(shell)
kubectl port-forward <datahub-frontend pod name> 9002:9002
```
You should be able to access the frontend via http://localhost:9002.
Once you confirm that the pods are running well, you can set up ingress for datahub-frontend to expose the 9002 port to
the public.
