SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Installing and operating the Cisco Isovalent suite (Cilium CNI, Tetragon eBPF runtime, and Hubble Enterprise options) across Kubernetes clusters used to be error-prone and manually intensive. This Skill provides a repeatable workflow to render, validate, and apply platform install assets with OSS or Enterprise editions, including preflight checks, policy templates, and day-2 runbooks. It also clearly separates Splunk telemetry wiring from the platform install, enabling safe, auditable deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

Render OSS or Enterprise Helm values and install scripts for Cilium, Tetragon, and optional Hubble components.
Produce a comprehensive apply-plan with gated sections (k8s mutations, enterprise licenses, private chart access) and ready-made runbooks (preflight, doctor, backup, upgrade/rollback).
Validate and inventory the cluster state (discover, preflight, doctor) and support safe, dry-run mutation workflows for day-2 operations.

Quick Start

Render the platform assets for your Kubernetes cluster and optionally apply the selected installation steps.

FAQPage Schema

How do I install Cisco Isovalent Cilium and Tetragon on Kubernetes?▼

You can automate the deployment of Cisco Isovalent Cilium, Tetragon, and Hubble Enterprise on Kubernetes by rendering Helm values and install scripts for either OSS or Enterprise editions, followed by preflight validation and apply workflows.

Can I install Hubble Enterprise alongside the open source Cilium CNI?▼

Yes, the deployment workflow supports both OSS and Enterprise edition paths, allowing you to render Helm values and install scripts for Cilium CNI, Tetragon, and optional Hubble Enterprise components across generic Kubernetes distributions.

What is the best way to validate a Kubernetes cluster before applying Cilium eBPF runtime updates?▼

The best way to validate a cluster before applying updates is to run discover, preflight, and doctor checks that inventory the cluster state, ensuring safe, dry-run mutation workflows for day-2 operations via an apply-plan.json.

Does the Isovalent platform setup support private Helm chart access?▼

Yes, the deployment workflow includes gating for private chart access within the generated apply-plan.json, ensuring safe and auditable installations of Enterprise components on your Kubernetes clusters.

How do I handle day-2 operations like backup and rollback for Tetragon and Hubble?▼

You can handle day-2 operations using ready-made runbooks generated by the workflow, which provide doctor checks, backup procedures, and upgrade or rollback support for Tetragon and Hubble components.

Do I need a separate process to wire Splunk telemetry with Isovalent Enterprise?▼

Yes, Splunk telemetry wiring is separated from the platform install and requires dedicated integration skills to coordinate telemetry setup safely alongside the Isovalent Enterprise deployment.
