Installation and Configuration of Axual Platform

Content

This section is aimed at preparing, understanding and executing the deployment of the Axual Platform.

Way of deploying Axual To get Axual’s advice regarding best practices in deploying the platform.
Dependencies To learn more about components that Axual relies on.

Axual Streaming and Governance Charts

The architecture of Axual Platform consists of two planes: Data plane and Control plane. Each plane has its own helm charts to deploy its services. This simplifies the separation between components that build the data cluster from the components that control multiple data clusters

Data Plane

The Data plane consists of all the components defining the Kafka cluster where the data is stored. Among other components, it contains Apache Kafka (Strimzi) and Schema Registry.

Control Plane

The Governance plane consists of all the components controlling one or more Kafka clusters. Among other components, it includes the Self-Service UI.
