Deploy MinIO Operator on Google Kubernetes Engine
minio
Table of Contents
Overview
Google
Kubernetes Engine (GKE) offers a highly automated secure and fully
managed Kubernetes platform. The MinIO Kubernetes Operator supports
deploying MinIO Tenants onto GKE infrastructure using the MinIO Operator
Console or kustomize for YAML-defined deployments <operator/tree/master/examples/kustomization>
.
Through the GKE Marketplace <product/multicloud-google-kubernetes-service>
-
MinIO maintains an GKE Marketplace listing through which you can register your GKE cluster with . Any MinIO tenant you deploy through Marketplace-connected clusters can take advantage of SUBNET registration, including 24/7 direct access to MinIO engineers.
- Using the MinIO
kubectl
Plugin -
MinIO provides a
kubectl
plugin for installing and managing the MinIO Operator and Tenants through a terminal or shell (CLI) environment. You can manually register these tenants with at any time.
This page documents deploying the MinIO Operator through the CLI
using Kustomize. For instructions on deploying the MinIO Operator
through the GKE Marketplace, see Deploy MinIO through GKE <product/multicloud-google-kubernetes-service/deploy>
This documentation assumes familiarity with all referenced Kubernetes
and Google Kubernetes Engine concepts, utilities, and procedures. While
this documentation may provide guidance for configuring or
deploying Kubernetes-related or Google Kubernetes Engine-related
resources on a best-effort basis, it is not a replacement for the
official Kubernetes Documentation <>

Prerequisites
Existing GKE Cluster
This procedure assumes an existing GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine)
cluster onto which you
can deploy the MinIO Operator.
The Operator by default deploys pods and services with two replicas each and pod anti-affinity. The GKE cluster should therefore have at least two nodes available for scheduling Operator pods and services. While these nodes may be the same nodes intended for use by MinIO Tenants, co-locating Operator and Tenant pods may increase the risk of service interruptions due to the loss of any one node.
kubectl
Access
to the GKE Cluster
Ensure your host machine has a kubectl
installation
compatible with the target GKE cluster. For guidance on connecting
kubectl
to GKE, see Install kubectl and configure cluster access <how-to/cluster-access-for-kubectl>
.
Procedure
The following steps deploy Operator using Kustomize and a
kustomization.yaml
file from the MinIO Operator GitHub
repository.
