NetBackup™ Deployment Guide for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS) Cluster

Installing the docker images and binaries

The MSDP package VRTSpddek.tar.gz for Kubernetes includes the following:

  • A docker image for MSDP operator

  • 3 docker images for MSDP Scaleout: uss-controller, uss-mds, and uss-engine

  • A kubectl plugin: kubectl-msdp

To install the docker images and binaries

  1. Download VRTSpddek.tar.gz from the Veritas site.
  2. Load the docker images to your docker storage.

    tar -zxvf VRTSpddek.tar.gz

    ls VRTSpddek-*/images/*.tar.gz|xargs -i docker load -i {}

  3. Copy MSDP kubectl plugin to a directory from where you access EKS host. This directory can be configured in the PATH environment variable so that kubectl can load kubectl-msdp as a plugin automatically.

    For example,

    cp ./VRTSpddek-*/bin/kubectl-msdp /usr/local/bin/

  4. Push the docker images to the ECR.
    • Log in.

      aws ecr get-login-password \
      --region <region> \
      | docker login \
      --username AWS \
      --password-stdin \
      <aws_account_id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com
    • Create a repository.

      See AWS documentation Creating a private repository

    • Push the docker images to ECR. Keep the image name and version same as original.

      for image in msdp-operator uss-mds uss-controller
      uss-engine; do \
      docker image tag $image:<version> <your-ecr-url>/$image:<version>; \
      docker push <your-ecr-url>/$image:<version>; \
      done
