kusk cluster install

The install command will install Kusk Gateway and all its components with a single command. Kusk uses Helm to do this, so you will need to have Helm installed.

Kusk Gateway Components

• Kusk Gateway Manager - Responsible for updating and rolling out the Envoy configuration to your Envoy Fleets as you deploy APIs and Static Routes.
• Envoy Fleet - Responsible for exposing and routing to your APIs and frontends.
• Kusk Gateway API - REST API, which is exposed by Kusk Gateway and allows you to programmatically query which APIs, Static Routes and Envoy Fleets are deployed.
• Kusk Gateway Dashboard - A web UI for Kusk Gateway where you can deploy APIs and see which APIs, StaticRoutes and Envoy Fleets are deployed.

Examples

The default kusk cluster install command will install Kusk Gateway, a public (for your APIs) and private (for the Kusk dashboard and API) envoy-fleet, api, and dashboard in the kusk-system namespace using Helm and using the current kubeconfig context.
