All other dependencies can be provisioned automatically.

Important

Ensure your account has access to the relevant Kubernetes clusters within your environments. You need to have the same permissions as those that allow you to install Helm charts manually.

Obtain and run the Venafi CLI tool binaries

The Venafi Kubernetes Manifest utility is released in concert with, and installed as part of, the Venafi CLI tool.

  1. If not already installed, download and install the relevant version of the Venafi CLI tool for your platform.

  2. Initialize the Venafi Kubernetes Manifest tool:

    venctl components kubernetes manifest tool init

    For more information on this command and its associated flags, see the venctl reference page.

Venafi Manifests can be applied to a cluster using the Venafi CLI tool. Applying manifests requires a one-time setup.
