Staging

In this section we will examine the pre-requisite actions that need to take place in order to prepare your environment for FileNet Content Manager.

1. Pre-Requisites​

This document describes the cluster sizing and software minimum requirements.

2. Image Pre-Staging​

This is a purely optional pre-requisite that should only be followed if you require the FileNet Content Manager images to be pre-staged in a private repository as your environment is living on a private VPC.

3. Account and Clients​

This walks you through the configuration of the aws-cli for your local computer.

4. EKS Cluster​

This section will take you through deploying an EKS cluster in AWS using aws-cli as well as the eksctl command line utilities. It will also guide you through installing the required cluster components:

  • NGINX Ingress Controller
  • EBS for block storage
  • EFS for file storage
  • AWS Load Balancer Controller

5. RDS​

This is an optional pre-requisite. In the course of our example deployment we will be describing the installation and configuration of Postgres as a pod running in your cluster. If you prefer to use the AWS managed database services, this document will take you through spinning up an RDS Postgres instance in AWS.
