This installation guide describes how you perform a reference installation of Usage Engine Private Edition. It aims to provide you with a good starting point, not to provide you with a fully-fledged production-grade Kubernetes cluster.
When finished, you will have a Usage Engine Private Edition installation that is ready for you to start implementing your business logic, in the form of workflow configurations, and eventually creating your first EC Deployment.
The diagram below illustrates what the system will look like after you have followed this installation guide.
The diagram only shows the main components that this installation guide covers. For a full description of the Usage Engine Private Edition architecture, please refer to:
