Private Cloud - Handling of Ports

If you are running in Private Cloud, you cannot use the ports defined in the values.yaml file. You must use the NodePort number substitutes. You can see the port number substitutes but running the command:

kubectl get services.

In the example below, 9000 is substituted with 30707.

Code Block
$ kubectl get services -n <namespace>

AWS - Accessing the Environment

If you use AWS you must always define the type of interface directly in the URL as shown below:

  • Web interface: https://mzonline.<domain>/

    • Platform: https://platform.<domain>:9000/

    1. The Launcher interface will be visible, and you can add the Instances Instances you want to use.
        
      - Add the instance, by defining the Host, Port and a Name. Select Secured Connection if the platform's web interface is defined to use https.
      - For Private Cloud, set Port to the NodePort number substitute for 9000 and Host to the cluster node. Example below.
      - For AWS, define platform.<domain> For the Host.

    2. In the case you are using Private Cloud or pico.rcp.platform.port different from 6790, the Platform RCP port needs to be changed. Click settings    on the Desktop instance and update the pico.rcp.platform.port. For Private Cloud Use the NodePort number substitute for 6790. It is 32481 as shown in the "kubectl get services" example above.
