Cloud Deployment
The possible infrastructure vary depending on how the PostgreSQL database is provisioned
Options:
- Azure AKS with VMs + Azure PostgreSQL
- Azure AKS with VMs + PostgreSQL Pod
We offer a provisioning script that depending on the selection, we automatically provision the cluster for you and install the K8S components needed for MetaDefender ICAP Server service. See AKS Cluster Deployment
MetaDefender PostgreSQL database details
Recommendations
For running MetaDefender ICAP Server in a Kubernetes cluster we recommend to use, for production environments, an external database service for PostgreSQL. In case of Azure it is Azure PostgreSQL.
For non-production environments or for stateless use cases, we offer the option of installing the database within the cluster using a standard PostgreSQL image.
