Overview
Use Remote Operator when your Helm chart defines and releases the Kubernetes application. It works for a chart already in production or one you are building now.
Add the generated template to that chart. Your release process stays the same.
You add Remote Operator to your Helm chart. It runs in the customer environment and connects outbound to Alien for diagnostics, operations, health, and optional logs.
The generated template runs alongside your application. It connects outbound to Alien over HTTPS and reports as a deployment in the Alien dashboard.
Your Helm chart still owns the application. Alien does not take over its releases.
What it adds
- Kubernetes inventory and health;
- the diagnostics and remediation operations you select;
- connections to private or cloud services you configure; and
- Kubernetes log collection when enabled.
Each capability has its own access. Read the generated ServiceAccount, RBAC, secrets, and optional cloud identity before installing it.
Current installation path
The dashboard generates a namespace-scoped Helm template for Kubernetes.
