Preparing for PPC deployment

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The PCT is a pre-packaged deployment archive. It contains the infrastructure-as-code scripts, Helm charts, and bootstrap tooling. These are required to provision a PPC on your target cloud platform. It automates the creation of the Kubernetes cluster, networking, identity configuration, and installation of Protegrity microservices. Download and extract the PCT on your jump box before starting the deployment process.

Note: If there is an existing cluster from a previous install, clean up your local registry on the jump box. Also clean up any existing clusters by running ./bootstrap.sh --cloud azure destroy from /deployment before proceeding.
