Getting Started with Kubernetes in HPE GreenLake

The Kubernetes workflow in HPE GreenLake for containers allows you to create virtual nodes/containers that run in virtual clusters (pods) to run Kubernetes applications. This workflow consists of two high-level steps that must be performed by users with different roles in the following order:

Kubernetes Tenant Administrator

  1. If needed, use the Kubernetes Dashboard and/or Web Terminal to configure the Kubernetes cluster, as described in Accessing the Kubernetes Dashboard and Kubernetes Web Terminal, respectively. See Kubernetes Tenant RBAC for the privileges allowed to Kubernetes Tenant Administrator users.
  2. Create one or more DataTaps to allow the tenant to access remote data storage resources. See About DataTaps and Creating a New DataTap.
  3. Verify that one or more users have been assigned the Kubernetes Member role. Refer to https://www.hpe.com/info/greenlakecentral-containers for information.

Kubernetes Tenant Member

  1. Confirm that the Kubernetes Tenant Administrator has completed all of the steps described in Kubernetes Tenant Administrator, above.
  2. Log in to the web interface as the Kubernetes Member user that was created or assigned in Step 3 of the Kubernetes Tenant Administrator workflow described above.
  3. Either:

You may also use the Kubernetes Dashboard and/or Web Terminal to deploy Kubernetes objects such as pods, as described in Accessing the Kubernetes Dashboard and Kubernetes Web Terminal, respectively. See Kubernetes Tenant RBAC for the privileges allowed to Kubernetes Tenant Member users.

Getting Help

The documentation you need to use the HPE GreenLake for containers service in HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise is located in:

  • All topics under Using Kubernetes (Includes HPE GreenLake) contain HPE GreenLake information. Topics in MLOps on Kubernetes and Spark on Kubernetes do not apply to HPE GreenLake for containers.

  • All topics under Tenant/Project Administration (Includes HPE GreenLake), except for Viewing and Assigning Kubernetes Tenant Users.

NOTE
If a topic in one of the previously listed sections contains information that does not apply to HPE GreenLake for containers, that information is labelled accordingly (for example "applies to standalone HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise only").

See https://www.hpe.com/info/greenlakecentral-containers for documentation about the HPE GreenLake for containers service and the HPE GreenLake for containers screens in HPE GreenLake Central.
