Are there any plans yet on how to use Replicated on existing on-premise cluster installations, like DC/OS or Kubernetes?

After having a look at the installation shell script, Replicated itself seems to run in containers and therefore should be deployable on DC/OS or the likes if I understand correctly...

Hi toblig. Absolutely. We do have support for installing Replicated on an existing Kubernetes cluster. For these installs, we provide a couple of k8s yaml files to create the deployment, service, etc on the cluster. It's still a beta feature, but we like the idea of supporting other schedulers.

Hi marcc, thanks for your feedback! Is there any documentation on what are the building blocks to be able to run Replicated on platforms like DC/OS and Kubernetes?

I'm especially interested in DC/OS, because my company is building a SaaS in it, and ideally we'd want a general solution on how to ship and maintain an on-premise deployment.

Recently just built and deployed an enterprise (on-prem) offering for my startup https://commando.io . The single biggest problem by far was ripping/replacing 3rd party SaaS services that we use/pay for with native code. While building a SaaS it is wonderful to use 3rd parties to save time and complexity. Examples include Stripe (payments), Rollbar (error tracking), Intercom (support/engagement), Iron.io (queue and a…

Good advice, definitely want to keep everything in a single branch.

While building the enterprise version of Kumu [1], I found it much easier to maintain if I used the environment to toggle configuration flags rather than scattering if(enterprise) calls throughout the codebase:

    BILLING_ENABLED = APP_ENV !== 'enterprise'

    if (BILLING_ENABLED) {

    }
