All-in-one Deployment¶
The All-in-One Deployment consolidates all services onto a single worker node, making it the most straightforward way to deploy MSR 4. In this setup, all services run as single-instance components without high availability (HA) or replication. Such approach is not applicable for production usage but is useful for testing or Proof of Concept. Refer to the installation guidance in the MSR 4 documentation using a docker compose or you can use a helm chart approach (that is mentioned in HA deployment variant) instead, but scaling replicas to 1 in variables configuration.
While this deployment effectively showcases MSR 4’s capabilities and functionality, it is not intended for production use due to its lack of redundancy. Instead, it is a lightweight option suitable for demonstrations, training, testing, and development.
The following diagram illustrates a single worker node running all MSR 4-related services.
There are two methods for installing the all-in-one MSR 4:
Using Kubernetes Helm
Each approach has its own advantages. The Kubernetes method is similar to High Availability (HA) mode and allows for easy scaling from a single-node to a multi-node deployment. On the other hand, Docker Compose is ideal for those not using Kubernetes in their infrastructure, enabling them to leverage MSR 4’s capabilities by running all services in containers.
