Third-party prerequisites
Install the prerequisite dependencies listed in the Third-party services table before you deploy AI Connector.
| Name | Version | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redis | 6.x | Used for caching. Only distributions of Redis that support Redis cluster mode are supported, however, some services may not support cluster mode. | AI Connector supports Redis deployed in either cluster (TLS) or non-cluster (non-TLS) mode. |
| PostgreSQL | 11.x | Relational database. | No support for enforced SSL. |
| Ingress controller | HTTPS ingress controller. | ||
| HTTPS certificates - Let's Encrypt | Use with cert-manager to provide free rotating TLS certificates for NGINX Ingress Controller. Note: Let's Encrypt is a suite-wide requirement if you choose an Ingress Controller that needs it. | ||
| HTTPS certificates - cert-manager | Use with Let's Encrypt to provide free rotating TLS certificates for NGINX Ingress Controller. | ||
| Load balancer | VPC ingress. For NGINX Ingress Controller, a single regional Google external network LB with a static IP and wildcard DNS entry will pass HTTPS traffic to NGINX Ingress Controller which will terminate SSL traffic and will be setup as part of the platform setup. | ||
| A container image registry and Helm chart repository | Used for downloading Genesys containers and Helm charts into the customer's repository to support a CI/CD pipeline. You can use any Docker OCI compliant registry. | ||
| Command Line Interface | The command line interface tools to log in and work with the Kubernetes clusters. |
