Run script to prepare for k8s deployment

The Sitecore container deployment package provides scripts for automating some of the preparations for Sitecore deployment to a developer machine. The k8s-init.ps1 and k8s-init-upgrade.ps1 files are located with the secrets and configmaps folders.

The k8s-init.ps1 file performs the following actions:

• compresses the Sitecore license file 
• creates the Identity Server token signing certificate  
• populates the secrets folder  
• updates the configmaps hostname files 
• generates TLS/HTTPS certificates  
• installs the root certificate into your Trusted Root Certification Authorities  
• updates Windows host names

The k8s-init-upgrade.ps1 file performs the following actions:

• compresses the Sitecore license file 
• populates the secrets folder

The scripts accept a number of parameters. The following table shows the parameters you can use.

To use the script:

1. Open a Windows PowerShell console (or the ISE) with administrator access (for now, supporting PowerShell version is 5.X). Navigate to the folder containing the k8s-init.ps1 or k8s-init-upgrade.ps1 file.

2. Run the script. For example:

   .\k8s-init.ps1 -Topology "<your_topology>" -LicenseXmlPath "<path_to_the_license_file>" -IdHost <custom_Id_host_name> -CdHost <custom_cd_host_name> -CmHost <custom_cm_host_name> -ExternalIPAddress <external_ip_address> -SqlUserPassword <sql_user_password> -SqlUserName <sql_user_name> -SitecoreAdminPassword <sitecore_admin_password> -SolrAdminPassword <solr_admin_password> -SolrConnectionPassword <solr_connection_password>

   .\k8s-init-upgrade.ps1 -LicenseXmlPath "<path_to_the_license_file>" -SqlUserPassword "<sql_user_password>" -SqlUserName "<sql_user_name>"
