Kinotic OS
Deployment Guide
Deploying and operating Kinotic OS in various environments.
Overview
Kinotic OS deploys to Kubernetes and provides several deployment configurations for different environments.
Deployment Options
Helm Charts
Production-ready Helm charts are available in deployment/helm/ for deploying:
- Kinotic Server — The core platform with configurable replicas, resource limits, and ingress
- Elasticsearch — Search and persistence cluster
- Load Generator — For performance testing
Docker Compose (Local Development)
A Docker Compose configuration in deployment/docker-compose/ provides a complete local development environment including the Kinotic server, Elasticsearch, and supporting services. This is the recommended way to run Kinotic OS during development.
KinD (Kubernetes in Docker)
For testing Kubernetes deployments locally, deployment/kind/ provides a KinD setup with Terraform configurations that deploy the full stack into a local Kubernetes cluster.
Cloud Providers (Terraform)
Terraform configurations in deployment/terraform/ support deployment to:
- AWS — EC2-based deployment with configurable instance types
- Azure — VM-based deployment on Azure infrastructure
