Component versions and operations

This page summarizes what an In-VPC deployment runs and how to operate it.

Install and upgrade pattern

e6data uses the helm template | kubectl apply --server-side pattern instead of helm install. This avoids Helm’s 1 MB release Secret limit and gives clean field-manager handling during upgrades. To upgrade a component, re-render its chart with the new image tags (provided by e6data) and re-apply with kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts. Image versions and chart versions for each release come from your e6data onboarding engineer - see the items listed in Prerequisites.

Kubernetes workloads reference

Platform components (e6operator namespace):

Kind	Name	Description
Deployment	`e6operator`	Controller managing all e6data CRDs.
Service	`e6operator-webhook-service`	Admission webhook for custom-resource validation.
Deployment	`cert-manager` (plus `cert-manager-webhook`, `cert-manager-cainjector`)	Issues the operator’s webhook serving certificate.
Deployment	`karpenter` (in `kube-system`)	Provisions e6operator and engine nodes.

Workspace components (per workspace namespace):

Kind	Name	Description
Deployment	`console`	Web console UI and backend.
Deployment	`<workspace>-qr-envoy`	Query routing proxy (TLS termination, JWT enforcement).
Deployment	`<workspace>-qr-xds`	Dynamic routing configuration for Envoy.
Deployment	`mds-schema` / `mds-storage`	Metadata services (created on demand).
DaemonSet	`o11y-collector` (`vector` / `metrics-bridge`)	Workspace log and metrics collection (when MonitoringServices is enabled).
CronJob	`compaction`	Metadata compaction job.
Service	`<workspace>-qr-envoy-external`	LoadBalancer for query and console traffic.

Resource footprint

Category	Cluster-level	Per workspace
VPC and networking	~15 resources (VPC, subnets, NAT Gateway, route tables, S3 endpoint)	1 Load Balancer
EKS	1 cluster + system node group	-
IAM roles	4–5 (cluster, node, Karpenter, ALB, EBS CSI)	3 (engine, console, app)
S3 buckets	-	1 (metadata)
Pod Identity associations	2–3 (Karpenter, ALB, EBS CSI)	5
EC2 instances	2 (system nodes)	0–N (engine nodes, scale to zero)
NodePools	1 (e6operator)	1
EC2NodeClasses	1 (e6operator)	1
