Helm Chart for PKI – Quick start EJBCA by Using a Minikube Kubernetes Cluster with Helm

In this tutorial, you will learn how to add an EJBCA Community Helm repository, configure deployments by customizing the Helm chart configuration file, and connect to an external database.

Helm is a Kubernetes package manager for deploying Helm charts. A Helm chart is a set of preconfigured Kubernetes application resources that allows you to install packages and deploy a containerized application using a single command.

📚 The tutorial covers these steps:
0:09 Add ejbca-community-helm as a Helm chart repository
2:03 Deploy EJBCA as an ephemeral testing instance in Kubernetes using Helm
4:07 Connect EJBCA running in Kubernetes to an external database for data persistence

💡 Prerequisites
Before you begin you will need:
- A Kubernetes cluster - Minikube is used in this tutorial. See https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/.
- Helm - the package manager for Kubernetes. See https://helm.sh/.
- To be familiar with the YAML format and how to use the Kubernetes command-line tool kubectl. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/....
