Installing management plane

This section covers the management cluster: where to place it, how the Superphenix operator is installed, and how you configure the management stack.

Part of the deployment guide. Choose your placement model first:

Once placement is decided and the management cluster exists, continue on this page for operator installation.

How the installation process works

Superphenix is installed through an operator running on the management cluster. The operator handles installation of the Superphenix clusters based on the configuration provided in the Cluster resource.

The management stack is installed on the management cluster by the operator, providing:

  • The Superphenix web console
  • The ArgoCD instance used to synchronize the Superphenix system
  • The talos-operator used to manage physical nodes (optional)

The operator handles the installations, upgrades, and lifecycle management of Superphenix clusters entirely.

How to install the operator

Installation of the operator is typically done via Helm on your chosen management cluster:

helm upgrade --install superphenix-operator \
  ghcr.io/super-phenix/charts/superphenix-operator \
  --namespace superphenix-system \
  --create-namespace

Placement-specific prerequisites:

How to configure the management

The management cluster itself requires configuration to host the web console and ArgoCD components. This is managed via the Management resource (or via the system chart values).
