Cluster Setup

Prerequisites

Install the following tools before you begin:

• kind
• kubectl
• flux
• helm

Step 1 – Create a kind cluster

kind create cluster

Step 2 – Install the Flux source controller

Component-operator relies on the Flux source controller to fetch and serve artifact content. Install only the source controller component:

flux install --components source-controller

Step 3 – Install component-operator

helm upgrade --install component-operator \
  oci://ghcr.io/sap/component-operator/charts/component-operator \
  --namespace flux-system

Wait for the operator to become ready:

kubectl -n flux-system rollout status deployment/component-operator

Continue with Scenario 1: Helm to deploy your first application.
