Installing the docker images and binaries for MSDP Scaleout

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

    Note:

    The kubectl plugin is required only when MSDP Scaleout is deployed separately without the environment operator or Helm charts.
