Setup Aerospike

You can run Aerospike locally using Docker:

  1. docker run -d --name aerospike -p 3000:3000 -p 3001:3001 -p 3002:3002 -p 3003:3003 aerospike

You can then interact with the server using localhost:3000.

The easiest way to install Aerospike on Kubernetes is by using the Helm chart:

  1. helm repo add incubator http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-charts-incubator
  2. helm install --name my-aerospike --namespace aerospike stable/aerospike

This installs Aerospike into the aerospike namespace. To interact with Aerospike, find the service with: kubectl get svc aerospike -n aerospike.

For example, if installing using the example above, the Aerospike host address would be:

aerospike-my-aerospike.aerospike.svc.cluster.local:3000
