Core Components [ENT 21.1 ARC]

An Enterprise MAM solution requires several components which are not directly related to a product’s specific functionality but are necessary for properly running, monitoring, and maintaining a system.

The most important aspects are:

• Kubernetes ingress controllers for making the system’s functionality accessible.

• Components for load balancing and ensuring redundancy - see Load Balancing and MetalLB [ENT 21.1 ARC] for more details.

• Elasticsearch, Kibana, and fluentd for system-wide logging and log analysis.

Other components have a cross-cutting nature and are required for multiple products within the solution:

• VidiCore, VSA, and ActiveMQ as core components for managing assets and their metadata.

• Authentication Service [ENT 21.1 ARC] as central point of authorisation and authentication for all Enterprise MAM products.

• ConfigPortal as central point of configuration for all Enterprise MAM products.

The following diagrams shows how these components are deployed to a Kubernetes cluster and which communication paths exists between them.
