4 Before You Begin

This documentation explains how to configure Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) on a Kubernetes cluster where no other Oracle Identity Management products will be deployed. For detailed information about this type of deployment, start at System Requirements for Oracle Unified Directory on Kubernetes and follow the documentation sequentially. Please note that this documentation does not explain how to configure a Kubernetes cluster given the product can be deployed on any compliant Kubernetes vendor.

If you are deploying multiple Oracle Identity Management products on the same Kubernetes cluster, then you must follow Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity and Access Management in a Kubernetes Cluster. Please note, you also have the option to follow Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity and Access Management in a Kubernetes Cluster even if you are only installing OUD and no other Oracle Identity Management products.

If you need to understand how to configure a Kubernetes cluster ready for an Oracle Unified Directory deployment, you should follow the Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity and Access Management in a Kubernetes Cluster. The automation section in that guide also contains details on automation scripts that can:
  • Automate the creation of a Kubernetes cluster on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), ready for the deployment of Oracle Identity Management products.
  • Automate the deployment of Oracle Identity Management products on any compliant Kubernetes cluster.
