Customize Yugabyte Platform
You can customize Yugabyte Platform on a Kubernetes cluster in a number of ways, such as the following:
-
You can change CPU and memory resources by executing a command similar to the following:
helm install yw-test yugabytedb/yugaware -n yb-platform \ --set yugaware.resources.requests.cpu=2 \ --set yugaware.resources.requests.memory=4Gi \ --set yugaware.resources.limits.cpu=2 \ --set yugaware.resources.limits.memory=4Gi \ --set prometheus.resources.requests.mem=6Gi
-
You can disable the public-facing load balancer by providing the annotations to Yugabyte Platform service for disabling that load balancer. Since every cloud provider has different annontations for doing this, refer to the following documentation:
For example, for a GKE version earlier than 1.17, you would run a command similar to the following:helm install yw-test yugabytedb/yugaware -n yb-platform \ --set yugaware.service.annotations."cloud\.google\.com\/load-balancer-type"="Internal"
