[TASK] Alternatives to run Helm Chart locally #4571
Description
Description
At the moment we have the internal repo camunda-platform-local that can be used by internal Camundis to quickly spin up a kind cluster and run the Helm Charts with an ingress setup locally. While this is convenient, its another repository that is currently maintained by the distribution team (e.g. https://github.com/camunda/team-distribution/issues/631). Moving forward we want to explore alternative ways to keep the guidance and ease for internal Camundi to run Helm Charts locally, but without the burden of maintaining a repo around it.
Solution Ideas/ Alternatives
Leverage our existing docs
The administrator quick start in our guides describes as well how to run the Helm Charts locally on a kind cluster. We can improve this guide and then leverage this guidance with an internal addition for TLS/certificate usage.
- We can depreciate camunda-platform-local
- Dogfooding - we leverage our official docs
- additional steps to setup ingress/tls required
Use our existing cloud resources for deployments
We and the infra team are running k8s clusters on cloud providers. These can also be used by other teams to deploy the helm charts with an ingress setup.
- We can depreciate camunda-platform-local
- no additional steps to setup ingress/tls
- easy to share clusters (good for cross-team debugging and sharing of stages)
- higher costs
