Guided Tour

In this tour, you will learn about the different Landscaper features by simple examples.

Prerequisites and Basic Definitions

For all examples, you need a running Landscaper instance.
A convenient tool we will often use in the following examples is the Landscaper CLI.
During the following exercises, you might need to change files, provided with the examples. For this, you should simply clone this repository and do the required changes on your local files. You could also fork the repo and work on your fork.
In all examples, 3 Kubernetes clusters are involved:
- the Landscaper Host Cluster, on which the Landscaper runs
- the target cluster, on which the deployments will be done
- the Landscaper Resource Cluster, on which the various custom resources are stored. These custom resources are watched by the Landscaper, and define which deployments should happen on which target cluster.
It is possible that some or all of these clusters coincide, e.g. in the most simplistic approach, you have only one cluster. Such a "one-cluster-setup" is the easiest way to start working with the Landscaper.
