Deploying PDP using helm

In this example, we will show you how to deploy the Permit PDP on Kubernetes using helm.

Resources included in this example:

  • Deployment
  • Service
  • Secret

To deploy the PDP on Kubernetes, follow these steps:​

  1. Add helm repo:
helm repo add pdp https://permitio.github.io/PDP
  1. In order to see all available versions and also make sure the helm repo added successfully:
helm search repo pdp
  1. Make sure to replace API_KEY placeholder with your API KEY and perform helm install command:
helm install pdp pdp/pdp --set pdp.ApiKey=<API_KEY> --create-namespace --namespace pdp --wait

Once the PDP is ready, you can start sending authorization requests to it.

Interacting with the PDP​

To interact with the PDP internally (from inside the cluster), you can use the service name permitio-pdp.<Your Namespace>.svc.cluster.local.

To interact with the PDP externally (from outside the cluster), you must expose the service using a load balancer or an ingress of your choice.
