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.
