Kubernetes

Kubernetes deployment is the recommended method for production environments requiring high availability and scalability.

Vectora provides standard manifests covering secrets, configuration, deployment, and auto-scaling (HPA).

Manifest Structure

The manifests are located in the k8s/ folder at the project root:

• secret.yaml: Stores sensitive API keys and JWT tokens.
• configmap.yaml: Non-sensitive configurations (URLs, ports, etc.).
• deployment.yaml: Defines the desired state of the vectora-cloud container.
• service.yaml: Exposes Vectora internally or via LoadBalancer.
• hpa.yaml: Configures Horizontal Pod Autoscaler based on CPU/Memory.

Deployment Steps

1. Configure Secrets: Update k8s/secret.yaml with your base64-encoded keys or use a secret management tool.
2. Apply Manifests: Use the make k8s-deploy command or apply directly with kubectl.
3. Verify: Monitor the pods to ensure Vectora started correctly.

kubectl get pods -l app=vectora
