Generic Kubernetes
Prepare for the generic install
Verrazzano requires that your Kubernetes cluster provides an implementation of network load balancers (Services of type LoadBalancer) for a production environment. If your generic Kubernetes implementation provides this feature, then you can use a default configuration of the Verrazzano custom resource with no customizations and follow the Installation Guide.
NOTE
Remember to not overlap network Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) blocks when designing and implementing your Kubernetes cluster; proper routing relies on that.You can install a load balancer, such as MetalLB. This setup requires knowledge of networking both inside and outside your Kubernetes cluster. This would include specifics of your Container Network Interface (CNI) implementation, IP address allocation schemes, and routing that goes beyond the scope of this documentation. For a Kind implementation, see Install and configure MetalLB.
It is possible to use a Kubernetes Service of type NodePort to test aspects of Verrazzano. This requires a good working knowledge of networking and has limited use cases.
Customizations
Verrazzano is highly customizable. If your Kubernetes implementation requires a custom configuration, see Customize Verrazzano.
Next steps
To continue, see the Installation Guide.
