Install

Prerequisites for TrilioVault for Kubernetes
Before installing TrilioVault for Kubernetes please review the compatibility matrix to ensure the application can function smoothly in your Kubernetes environment. 
1.
Before proceeding, please ensure that the all CRDs associated with snapshots are available on the Kubernetes cluster. If they are not, please follow the instructions provided on the Hostpath CSI driver installation page to install the 3 CRDs only.
2.
TrilioVault makes environment validation easy by providing a 'Pre-flight tool' that runs against a Kubernetes cluster and provides an output stating if the environment is suitable to proceed with a successful installation of the application. Please check the TrilioVault for Kubernetes Preflight check page to see the requirements of the application follow the instructions to run the Preflight tool.
3.
TrilioVault leverages the default storage driver that is available on the Kubernetes platform and can function with RWO/RWX storage access mode.

Red Hat OpenShift
TrilioVault is available as a certified Operator in the embedded OperatorHub for OpenShift environments. 
Trilio is currently working with RedHat to create a 'Data Protection' category within the embedded OperatorHub to host the TrilioVault for Kubernetes data protection application - the first in this space. Trilio is currently available in the Database, Monitoring, Security, Developer Tools categories
1.
Within OpenShift, ensure the correct Project is selected.
2.
Select OperatorHub in the left panel. 
3.
Either search by typing 'Trilio' or find TrilioVault for Kubernetes in any of these categories - Database/Monitoring/Security/Developer Tools
TrilioVault for Kubernetes within OpenShift OperatorHub
4. Select the TrilioVault for Kubernetes Tile
TrilioVault for Kubernetes Tile
If the TVK tile is not available within OperatorHub (which could happen because of pipeline issues), follow the instructions to install via a CustomCatalog Source​
5. Click Install
Install TrilioVault
​
6. Select if this is a cluster scope installation of TrilioVault or Namespaced only. Note, selecting cluster scope will install TrilioVault in all namespaces. Please refer to the RBAC section to understand the security-related roles and permissions created and leveraged by TrilioVault

7. Select the Approval Strategy for receiving updates - Automatic or Manual
8. Click Subscribe
Subscribe to TrilioVault for Kubernetes Operator
9. Confirm that TrilioVault for Kubernetes has been installed successfully.
Successful installation of TrilioVault for Kubernetes
Offline Install
TrilioVault for Kubernetes has been designed to support installation in a restricted or disconnected network as part of the OLM framework. Please follow the instructions from the OpenShift Documentation to install TVK in an offline environment
Upstream Kubernetes
Follow the instructions in this section to Install TrilioVault for Kubernetes on any certified Kubernetes distributions.
This section assumes that you have installed kubectl and helm installed and correctly configured to work with desired Kubernetes cluster.  TVK supports v3 version of helm.
As part of the install, Trilio first requires the Operator to be deployed, after which the application is deployed via the TrilioVault Manager (TVM) Resource created by the Operator. In order to understand the Operator version to Application version compatibility, refer to the TVM compatibility matrix 
1.
Add the Trilio Helm repository to your local setup
1
helm repo add triliovault-operator http://charts.k8strilio.net/trilio-stable/k8s-triliovault-operator

EKS/AKS/GKE
Amazon (EKS), Azure (AKS) and Google (GKE) Kubernetes offerings all leverage upstream Kubernetes. As a result, the same installation instructions as provided for Upstream Kubernetes environments can be used for installing TVK into these clusters.
Eventually, TVK will be available as a service offering for all public cloud environments.
