Dependencies of the IBM Cloud Pak foundational services

Your product includes several services that are composed of one or more services.

View the following table of the foundational services and their dependencies:

Note: No service has a dependency on the ibm-commonui-operator, which provides the console. However, some services need the console for configuring and managing the service. You must install the ibm-commonui-operator if you are installing such services, for example, Monitoring (ibm-monitoring-grafana-operator).

Table 1. Foundational service dependencies
Foundational service	Dependencies
`ibm-monitoring-grafana-operator`	`ibm-iam-operator`, `ibm-cert-manager-operator`, `ibm-management-ingress-operator`, `ibm-commonui-operator`, `ibm-ingress-nginx-operator`
`ibm-auditlogging-operator`	`ibm-cert-manager-operator`
`ibm-licensing-operator`	- Installer version 3.5.x and later - No dependency
`ibm-mongodb-operator`	`ibm-cert-manager-operator`
`ibm-iam-operator`	`ibm-cert-manager-operator`, `ibm-mongodb-operator`, `ibm-management-ingress-operator`, `ibm-ingress-nginx-operator`. If you want to use the console for managing the IAM service, you must install `ibm-commonui-operator` by adding it in the `OperandRequest`. If you want to use the `cloudctl` CLI for managing the IAM service, you must install `ibm-platform-api-operator` by adding it in the `OperandRequest`.
`ibm-ingress-nginx-operator`	No dependency
`ibm-management-ingress-operator`	`ibm-cert-manager-operator`. The `ibm-management-ingress-operator` depends on the `ibm-iam-operator`, but doesn't install the `ibm-iam-operator` by default. For the `ibm-management-ingress-operator` to work properly, you must ensure that `ibm-iam-operator` is installed in your cluster. If required, you can install `ibm-iam-operator` by adding it in the `OperandRequest`.
`ibm-platform-api-operator`	`ibm-iam-operator`, `ibm-cert-manager-operator`, `ibm-mongodb-operator`, `ibm-management-ingress-operator`
`ibm-commonui-operator`	`ibm-cert-manager-operator`, `ibm-management-ingress-operator`, `ibm-iam-operator`, `ibm-platform-api-operator`
`ibm-zen-operator`	No dependency
`ibm-events-operator`	No dependency
`ibm-cert-manager-operator`	No dependency
`ibm-healthcheck-operator`	No dependency
`ibm-apicatalog`	`ibm-cert-manager-operator` and `cloud-native-postgresql`; IBM Cloud Pak foundational services must be installed in your cluster.
`ibm-user-data-services-operator`	`ibm-events-operator`; IBM Cloud Pak foundational services must be installed in your cluster.
`ibm-bts-operator`	`ibm-zen-operator`, `ibm-iam-operator`, `ibm-cert-manager-operator`, `cloud-native-postgresql`
