Deploying PDP to local Kubernetes using terraform

In this example, we will show you how to deploy the Permit PDP on Kubernetes using terraform.

Resources included in this example:

  • Deployment
  • Service
  • Secret

To deploy the PDP on local Kubernetes by terraform, follow these steps:​

git clone https://github.com/permitio/permit-pdp-deployments-examples
cd ./terraform
terraform init
  1. Make sure to replace <API_KEY> placeholder at main.tf file with your API KEY
terraform plan
terraform apply

Once the PDP is ready, you can start sending authorization requests to it.

Interacting with the PDP​

To interact with the PDP internally (from inside the cluster), you can use the service name permitio-pdp.<Your Namespace>.svc.cluster.local.

To interact with the PDP externally (from outside the cluster), you must expose the service using a load balancer or an ingress of your choice.
