Aerospike Kubernetes Operator System Requirements

Supported Aerospike Database versions:

AKO supports Aerospike Database Enterprise Edition (EE) 6.0 and later.

Supported Kubernetes versions:

• Kubernetes 1.23 to 1.32.

Supported platforms:

• Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).

  • Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

  Caution

  Aerospike does not support GKE Autopilot clusters, only standard clusters. Autopilot clusters impose certain restrictions that can impact deployment workflows on both OLM and Helm.

  • OLM does not work well in Autopilot clusters due to resource constraints.
  • On Helm, cert-manager does not work out of the box due to Autopilot’s enforced security.

• Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

• Locally via Minikube or Microk8s.

Required local setup:

The computer where you run kubectl commands needs:

• kubectl 1.19 or later.
• The files in the Aerospike Kubernetes Operator GitHub repository.
