Set Up Pulse Databases

Pulse supports multiple database deployment models for Kubernetes environments.

Choose the database deployment model that matches your infrastructure requirements.


Database Deployment Options

Deployment Model

Description

External database nodes

Deploy Pulse database services on dedicated virtual machines (VMs) or bare-metal hosts. Use this option when database services are managed outside the Kubernetes cluster.

Kubernetes-based deployment

Deploy Pulse database services within the Kubernetes cluster by using Helm charts. Use this option when you want to manage database services as Kubernetes workloads.


Choose a Deployment Model

  • Deploy databases on dedicated VMs or bare-metal hosts

    • Use this deployment model when Pulse runs on Kubernetes and the database services run on separate hosts.

    • Set up PulseManager Agent on the database hosts. For details, see Deploy Pulse Manager Agent.

    • Setting up the PulseManager service on database hosts does not deploy the database containers. Deploy the database containers separately from the Accelo Manager workflow.

  • Deploy databases on Kubernetes
