Create a namespace kubelb for the CCM to be deployed in.
The agent expects a Secret with a kubeconf file named kubelb to access the management/load balancing cluster.
kubectl --namespace kubelb create secret generic kubelb-cluster --from-file=<path to kubelb kubeconf file>
The name of secret can be overridden using .Values.kubelb.clusterSecretName
Update the tenantName in the values.yaml to a unique identifier for the tenant. This is used to identify the tenant in the manager cluster. Tenants are registered in the management cluster by the Platform Provider and the name is prefixed with tenant-. So for example, a tenant named my-tenant will be registered as tenant-my-tenant.
At this point a minimal values.yaml should look like this:
kubelb:
clusterSecretName: kubelb-cluster
tenantName: <unique-identifier-for-tenant>
kubelb.enableGatewayAPI to true in the values.yaml. This is required otherwise due to missing CRDs, kubelb will not be able to start.At this point a minimal values.yaml should look like this:
imagePullSecrets:
- name: <imagePullSecretName>
kubelb:
clusterSecretName: kubelb-cluster
tenantName: <unique-identifier-for-tenant>
helm pull oci://quay.io/kubermatic/helm-charts/kubelb-ccm-ee --version=v1.1.1 --untardir "." --untar
## Create and update values.yaml with the required values.

At this point, the KubeLB CCM should be installed and running in the tenant cluster. Next steps are to install the Gateway API CRDs in the cluster. This is required to use the Gateway API resources in the tenant cluster.
Use the Experimental channel to install the CRDs:
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/releases/download/v1.1.0/experimental-install.yaml
For more details: Experimental Install
Use the Standard channel to install the CRDs:
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/releases/download/v1.1.0/standard-install.yaml
For more details: Standard Install
Due to the following reasons this has been left as a manual step and we haven’t added these CRDs to the KubeLB Manager chart, for automated installation:
