The Kubernetes Inventory Agent now supports deployment of Helm chart templates

FlexNet Manager Suite version 2023 R2.5

The Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent now supports predefined out-of-the-box Kubernetes Helm chart templates. For Flexera customers who use Helm charts, this new functionality will help to accelerate the deployment of the Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent to your Kubernetes clusters.

Two Helm charts are available and can be pulled from repositories hosted on Flexera AWS ECR - https://gallery.ecr.aws/flexera/:

Prior to this new functionality, customers were required to write complex syntax files and create their own Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent YAML file. From this release, after pulling the Helm chart and saving it to a directory, you only need to edit the options within the values.yaml file as needed.

For each Helm chart, the majority of options within the values.yaml file are predefined and each option has a descriptive comment. Customers are required to specify the FlexNet Beacon URL and persistent storage options for the Full Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent, and the FlexNet Beacon URL for the Lightweight Kubernetes Inventory Agent.

For configuration and installation steps for the Full Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent, see in the Online Help.

For configuration and installation steps for the Lightweight Kubernetes Inventory Agent, see in the Gathering FlexNet Inventory user guide.
