At the moment the only Kubernetes distribution supported is K3s (click here for the official documentation) by Suse Linux for both on-premise and cloud deployments. Our plan for the future is to extend the support to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

The requirements for the Kubernetes cluster is a single node (1 virtual machine) with the following specs:

Synergy

Focus

Enterprise

CPU cores

...

(x86_64 processor with speed of 2.2 GHz or more)

...

RAM: 32GB

...

Disk: 500GB SSD

OS

We recommend Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS Server (Focal Fossa), but you can also use RHEL 8.

...

6, CentOS 7.9 or Suse Linux 15.3.
⚠️ If you are using CentOS or RHEL please refer to the official K3s documentation for additional setup.

Firewall

...

  • The K3s server needs port 443/TCP to be open

...

  • to allow the clients to access Synergy/Focus dashboard and API.

  • Outbound internet access: In order to download the application artifacts (Docker images and binaries), updates and configuration files, the cluster needs a public internet connection with download speed of 40 Mbps or more and upload speed of 8 Mbps or more. To speed up the initial setup process it is recommended to have a download speed of 100 Mbps or more.

K3s version support

v1.23

Installation

Ensure the following items are in place and configured:

...

As root run the following command to install of K3s

Code Block
curl -sfL https://get.assets.master.k3s.getvisibility.com/k3s/k3s.iosh | INSTALL_K3S_VERSION="v1.23.9+k3s1" K3S_KUBECONFIG_MODE="644" sh -s - server --node-name=local-01

...

  • The K3s deployment is complete when elements of all the deployments (coredns, local-path-provisioner, metrics-server, traefik and cattle-cluster-agent) show at least "1" as "AVAILABLE"

  • In case of errors , you can inspect the logs of a pod using  kubectl logs , e.g.  kubectl logs cattle-cluster-agent-d96d648d8-wjvl9 -n cattle-system

...

...

If the customer has slow internet connection, you may monitor the download of packages using kubectl get events -A command.

Info

Once the above two commands are executed successfully then inform the Forcepoint/Getvisibility backend team to push the remaining packages from master server.

K3s support matrix

Please note that we don’t use Docker as the container runtime, instead we use containerd.

Proxy settings

The customer’s firewall and/or internal proxy should be configured to allow the following public urls to be accessible over port 443 (HTTPS):
Note: replace $RESELLER_NAME with the name of the Rancher server which the customer will be connected to.
