Getting started with OpenShift ServiceMesh Federation

Installation

1. OpenShift ServiceMesh Installation

The very first step is to have at least one OpenShift cluster where we install OpenShift ServiceMesh 2.1+. Basically we have to install 4 operators in the following order:

• OpenShift Elasticsearch (Optional)
• Jaeger
• Kiali
• Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh

You’ll find the complete installation instructions here: Installing the Operators - Service Mesh 2.x | Service Mesh | OpenShift Container Platform 4.9

Deploy on Linux

Clone this repository and make the deploy script executable.

chmod +x deploy.sh

Login to your OpenShift environment and start the deploy script.

./deploy.sh

Deploy on MacOS

As the sed commandline program behaves a bit different on Mac, there is a chance that the deploy script will be interrupted. In this case you could mount the git repository in a Linux container and deploy from there.

docker run -d \
  -it \
  --name deploy-mesh \
  --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/git \
  openshift/origin-cli

docker exec -it deploy-mesh bash

[root@51c09eeb8f64 git] ./deploy.sh
