Choose the deployment model that fits your environment, verify version support, and continue to the right workflow. - [WEKA Operator architecture overview](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/weka-operator-architecture-overview.md): Explore how the WEKA Operator manages WEKA Data Platform components within a Kubernetes cluster, from Custom Resource reconciliation through driver distribution and persistent storage provisioning. - [WEKA Operator driver management](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/weka-operator-driver-management.md): Automate driver lifecycle through WEKA Operator. Source pre-built or local drivers to match kernels and load automatically. - [Quick installation](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/quick-installation.md): Use this quick start procedure to deploy the WEKA Operator and provision a minimal WEKA cluster on Kubernetes in five steps. - [WEKA Operator full deployment workflow](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/weka-operator-full-deployment-workflow.md): Deploy WEKA on Kubernetes end-to-end: from environment preparation and operator installation through resource provisioning and post-deployment storage configuration. - [Deploy WEKA on cloud-managed Kubernetes services](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/deploy-the-weka-client-on-amazon-eks.md): Deploy the WEKA operator on a cloud-managed Kubernetes service to mount WEKA filesystems from application pods running in a managed cluster. - [Migrate standalone CSI to WEKA Operator-embedded](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/migrate-standalone-csi-to-weka-operator-embedded.md): Migrate the CSI plugin to the WEKA Operator to centralize cluster management and streamline future updates. - [Networking with the WEKA Operator](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/networking-with-the-weka-operator.md): Configure network device selection, data-path mode, port allocation, and management interface binding for WekaCluster and WekaClient deployments. - [Encryption with the WEKA Operator](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/encryption-with-the-weka-operator.md): Configure encryption at rest for WEKA filesystems on Kubernetes by using internal encryption for evaluation or HashiCorp Vault for production. - [Weka Operator secrets management](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/weka-operator-secrets-management.md): Manage the Kubernetes secrets created by the WEKA operator to store credentials and connection information required for cluster interaction. The operator automatically handles the lifecycle states. - [Set up protocols on K8s with WEKA Operator](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/set-up-protocols-on-k8s-with-weka-operator.md): Configure S3, NFS-W, and SMB-W protocols using the WEKA Kubernetes operator to provide object and file access to filesystems. - [Set up audit logs on K8s with WEKA Operator](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/set-up-audit-logs-on-k8s-with-weka-operator.md): Configure audit log exports to external destinations using the WEKA Kubernetes operator. - [WekaCluster and WekaContainer lifecycle](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/wekacluster-and-wekacontainer-lifecycle.md): Interpret WekaCluster and WekaContainer states to track progress and identify stuck resources. - [WEKA Operator upgrade and migration](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/weka-operator-upgrade-and-migration.md): Upgrade the WEKA Operator, WEKA cluster, and WEKA client versions in the correct sequence. This topic also covers related procedures for builder instances, ssdproxy, and more. - [Upgrade protocol containers on the WEKA Operator](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/upgrade-protocol-containers-on-the-weka-operator.md): Upgrade NFS, S3, and SMB-W protocol containers on a Kubernetes cluster managed by the WEKA Operator using version-based node labels and the roleNodeSelector field on the WekaCluster custom resource. - [WEKA Operator best practices](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/weka-operator-best-practices.md): Apply the following guidance to production WEKA Operator deployments to maximize reliability, performance, and operational clarity. - [Troubleshoot WEKA Operator deployments](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-deployments/troubleshoot-weka-operator-deployments.md): Diagnose and resolve common issues encountered during WEKA Operator deployment and operation. - [Monitor, scale, and maintain the cluster](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-day-2-operations.md): Manage hardware, scale clusters, and optimize resources to ensure system stability and performance. - [Observability and monitoring](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-day-2-operations/observability-and-monitoring.md) - [Hardware maintenance](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-day-2-operations/hardware-maintenance.md) - [Cluster scaling](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-day-2-operations/cluster-scaling.md) - [Cluster maintenance](https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes/weka-operator-day-2-operations/cluster-maintenance.md): Perform day-2 configuration updates, token rotation, trace management, and planned maintenance operations on a running WEKA Operator deployment. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.weka.io/kubernetes.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
