The Kubernetes Inventory Agent now supports deployment of Helm chart templates

Note:This feature is available with IT Asset Management.

The Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent now supports predefined out-of-the-box Kubernetes Helm chart templates. For Flexera customers who use Helm charts, this new functionality will help to accelerate the deployment of the Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent to your Kubernetes clusters.

Two Helm charts are available and can be pulled from repositories hosted on Flexera AWS ECR - https://gallery.ecr.aws/flexera/:

•

For the Full Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent—https://gallery.ecr.aws/flexera/krm-chart

•

For the Lightweight Kubernetes Inventory Agent—https://gallery.ecr.aws/flexera/lwk-chart

Prior to this new functionality, customers were required to write complex syntax files and create their own Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent YAML file. From this release, after pulling the Helm chart and saving it to a directory, you only need to edit the options within the values.yaml file as needed.

For each Helm chart, the majority of options within the values.yaml file are predefined and each option has a descriptive comment. Customers are required to specify the FlexNet Beacon URL and persistent storage options for the Full Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent, and the FlexNet Beacon URL for the Lightweight Kubernetes Inventory Agent.

For configuration and installation steps for the Full Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent, see Full Flexera Kubernetes Agent Helm chart configuration and installation in the Help.

For configuration and installation steps for the Lightweight Kubernetes Inventory Agent, see Lightweight Kubernetes Agent Helm chart configuration and installation in Gathering FlexNet Inventory.
