• Number of cell instances: The number of cells must be between 1 and 9. Two or more are needed for high availability.
• Number of control plane instances: Number of control plane instances for api, uaa, nats, etc. Two or more are needed for high availability.
• Developer mode: If checked, then an environment with reduced size is deployed. Number of control plane instances is set to 1 and Number of cell instances is set to 1.

Note: The total Number of cell instances plus the Number of control plane instances must be less than or equal to the number of Kubernetes worker nodes.

Kubernetes parameters

• IBM Cloud Private username: The user name for IBM® Cloud Private. Default: admin.
• IBM Cloud Private password: The password for the IBM Cloud Private user.
• Kubernetes storage class name: Kubernetes disk storage class name to use for persistent data. The name local is reserved and should only be used for non-production environments. The storageclass name must already exist, except if the value is specified as local. Default: local.
• Docker host name: The host name or IP address for the Docker repository to pull the container images from. This parameter is optional.
• Docker user name: The user name for the Docker repository to pull the container images from. This parameter is optional.
• Docker password: The password for the Docker repository to pull the container images from. This parameter is optional.
• Docker organization: The organization for the Docker repository to pull the container images from. This parameter is optional.

Network parameters

Wildcard domain and certificates parameters

• Application domain: Cloud Foundry default application domain.

• Application domain private key and certificate secret: Kubernetes secret name (TLS) that contains the Cloud Foundry application domain private key and certificate. This parameter is optional.

  For creating the Kubernetes secret, for example, use the following code where ${APP_DOMAIN} is the application domain:

  kubectl create secret tls star.${APP_DOMAIN} --key star_${APP_DOMAIN}.key --cert star_${APP_DOMAIN}.crt
  

• Update Kubernetes DNS (kube-dns) with domain: If DNS resolution is not provided externally for the listed domain, and kube-dns needs to resolve this domain, leave this parameter checked.
