Deployment Methods for Clusters Connected to the Internet
CTE for Kubernetes supports two deployment methods: Kubernetes Operator and Helm Charts. Beginning with version 1.5.0, the Operator is the default deployment method.
Operator Deployment
The Operator-based installation deploys a dedicated operator pod that monitors the usage of CTE PVCs across the cluster. It automates the upgrade of CTE for Kubernetes by detecting when nodes are no longer using CTE and proceeding with the upgrade process accordingly.
