Hi Team,

I am new to the IFS Admin role and currently preparing for a new IFS Cloud installation. I would like to confirm the required software and prerequisites.

Deployment Type: Cloud Deployment
Environments: Dev, Test, Mig, and Prod

Current planned setup:

  • Kubernetes – Will the Kubernetes setup be provided from the build place, or does it need to be installed and configured separately?

  • Helm – Is Helm sufficient for the deployment, or are there additional tools required?

  • Database Server – Oracle 19c Enterprise Edition on a Linux environment.

Could you please confirm if any other software, tools, or prerequisites are required for the installation?

Thank you for your support.

Hi,

You can download the relevant artifacts from the IFS Lifecycle Experience (LE) portal via the Build Studio. These include the bootstrap.zip, which contains the Helm charts, container image metadata, environment configurations, and deployment scripts.

The artifact does not include the Kubernetes software itself. Instead, it provides the installer scripts used to set up the Kubernetes cluster on your Ubuntu nodes. You must use a Windows Management Server to orchestrate this process. The Management Server runs PowerShell scripts (like main.ps1) that remotely call and configure the Middleware Server on the Ubunut server.

While Helm is the primary engine for deploying application charts, the full deployment requires a coordinated set of tools on the Management Server, including PowerShell, Kubectl, Java, and access to the IFS Container Registry.


The Oracle 19c Enterprise Edition software must be installed and the database instance created manually on your Linux environment before starting the Middle Tier installation.


For further technical details, refer to the official IFS Documentation https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r1/080_supported_platforms/#user_access

Based on my knowledge, there is no additional setup required. You need to start with the database installation first.

Hi ​@maheshmuz ,

 Thanks for the reply. We are planning to do the IFS Cloud version 25R2/26R1 version with Customer-hosted use place.

What is the recommendation for the system specs/design?
