Items to keep in mind when working with a Betty Blocks on-premise installation
Betty Blocks, typically deployed on a cloud-based development platform, offers the flexibility of on-premises installation to meet the specific needs of our clients. While our public cloud deployment remains the go-to choice for most, the on-prem option provides an alternative for organisations seeking greater control over their infrastructure and data.
With Betty Blocks' commitment to continuous innovation, our platform undergoes frequent updates to introduce new features, improvements, and security patches. These updates are essential to ensure that your on-premises deployment remains secure, efficient, and aligned with the latest advancements in our platform. As such, we strongly encourage our on-prem clients to adopt a proactive approach to applying these updates, keeping their installations up to date and maximizing the value they derive from Betty Blocks.
We have to follow a few steps together get you up and running.
Step 1: Environment Preparation
-
Ready your infrastructure for the Betty Blocks platform. A Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster with at least 30 vCPUs and 120 GB of RAM is required.
-
Set up MySQL 8.0.33 for application data and MinIO for S3 protocol-based asset storage.
Step 2: DevOps Collaboration
-
Arrange a DevOps-to-DevOps call with Betty Blocks for Helm chart provisioning and tailored support, ensuring a seamless setup tailored to your environment.
Step 3: Platform Installation
-
Following the environment setup and our collaborative preparation, install the platform using the provided Helm chart. We ensure an efficient, guided installation process, typically completed within 30 minutes.
Post-Installation: Keeping Your Platform Updated
-
Embrace Betty Blocks' continuous development philosophy by regularly updating your platform. New features, updates, and patches are shared every two weeks via a private repository for on-premise clients. Staying updated is straightforward with a helm upgrade, crucial for maintaining platform performance and security.
