Terraform installation (optional)
Optional quick setup using Terraform for testing environments
Quick setup only
This Terraform-based installation is designed for quick setup and testing environments only. For production deployments, we strongly recommend following the manual installation process to properly configure and secure each component according to your organization's requirements.
Key limitations:
- Components run locally in the cluster without High Availability
- Basic security configurations
- Limited customization options
- Not suitable for production workloads
