We provide a few approaches to deploy KEDA runtime in your Kubernetes clusters:

• Helm charts
• Operator Hub
• YAML declarations

💡 NOTE: KEDA requires Kubernetes cluster version 1.16 and higher

Deploying with Helm

Install

Deploying KEDA with Helm is very simple:

1. Add Helm repo

   helm repo add kedacore https://kedacore.github.io/charts
   

2. Update Helm repo

   helm repo update
   

3. Install keda Helm chart

   helm install keda kedacore/keda  --version 2.2.0 --namespace keda --create-namespace
   

💡 NOTE: Are you upgrading to v2.2.1 or above? Make sure to read our troubleshooting guide to fix potential CRD issues.

Uninstall

If you want to remove KEDA from a cluster you can run one of the following:

helm uninstall keda -n keda

Deploying with Operator Hub

Install

1. On Operator Hub Marketplace locate and install KEDA operator to namespace keda
2. Create KedaController resource named keda in namespace keda

   

   

💡 NOTE: Further information on Operator Hub installation method can be found in the following repository.

Uninstall

Locate installed KEDA Operator in keda namespace, then remove created KedaController resource and uninstall KEDA operator.

Deploying using the deployment YAML files

Install

If you want to try KEDA on Minikube or a different Kubernetes deployment without using Helm you can still deploy it with kubectl.

• We provide sample YAML declaration which includes our CRDs and all other resources in a file which is available on the GitHub releases page. Run the following command (if needed, replace the version, in this case 2.2.0, with the one you are using):

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kedacore/keda/releases/download/v2.2.0/keda-2.2.0.yaml

• Alternatively you can download the file and deploy it from the local path:

kubectl apply -f keda-2.2.0.yaml

• You can also find the same YAML declarations in our /config directory on our GitHub repo if you prefer to clone it.

git clone https://github.com/kedacore/keda && cd keda

VERSION=2.2.0 make deploy

Uninstall

• In case of installing from released YAML file just run the following command (if needed, replace the version, in this case 2.2.0, with the one you are using):

kubectl delete -f https://github.com/kedacore/keda/releases/download/v2.2.0/keda-2.2.0.yaml

• If you have downloaded the file locally, you can run:

kubectl delete -f keda-2.2.0.yaml

• You would need to run these commands from within the directory of the cloned GitHub repo:

VERSION=2.2.0 make undeploy

Deploying KEDA on MicroK8s

If you want to try KEDA v2 on MicroK8s from 1.20 channel, KEDA is included into MicroK8s addons.

microk8s enable keda

Uninstall
