Dependencies
Understand Galileo deployment prerequisites and dependencies to ensure a smooth installation and integration across supported platforms.
Core Dependencies
- Kubernetes Cluster: Galileo is deployed within a Kubernetes environment, leveraging various Kubernetes resources.
Data Stores
-
PostgreSQL: Used for persistent data storage (if not using AWS RDS or GCP CloudSQL).
-
ClickHouse: A columnar database used for storing and querying large volumes of data efficiently. It supports analytics and real-time reporting.
-
MinIO: Serves as the object storage solution (if not using AWS S3 or GCP Cloud Storage).
Messaging
- RabbitMQ: Acts as the message broker for asynchronous communication.
Monitoring and Logging
-
Prometheus: For metrics collection and monitoring. This will also send metrics to Galileo’s centralized Grafana server for observability.
-
Prometheus Adapter: This component is crucial for enabling Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) to use Prometheus metrics for scaling applications. It must be activated through the
.Values.prometheus_adapter.enabled
Helm configuration. Care should be taken to avoid conflicts with existing services, such as the metrics-server, potentially requiring resource renaming for seamless integration. -
Grafana: For visualizing metrics. Optional, as users might not require metric visualization.
-
Fluentd: For logging and forwarding to AWS CloudWatch. Optional, depending on the logging and log forwarding requirements.
-
Alertmanager: Manages alerts for the monitoring system. Optional, if no alerting is needed or a different alerting mechanism is in place.
Ensure that the corresponding Helm values (prometheus_adapter.enabled
, fluentd.enabled
, alertmanager.enabled
) are configured according to your deployment needs.
Networking
-
Ingress NGINX: Manages external access to the services.
-
Calico: Provides network policies.
-
Cert-Manager: Handles certificate management.
Configuration and Management
- Helm: Galileo leverages Helm for package management and deployment. Ensure Helm is configured correctly to deploy the charts listed above.
Miscellaneous
-
Cluster Autoscaler: Automatically adjusts the size of the Kubernetes cluster.
-
Kube-State-Metrics: Generates metrics about the state of Kubernetes objects.
-
Metrics Server: Aggregates resource usage data.
-
Node Exporter: Collects metrics from the nodes.
-
ClickHouse Keeper: Acts as the service for managing ClickHouse replicas and coordinating distributed tasks, similar to Zookeeper. Essential for ClickHouse high availability and consistency.
