Third-party prerequisites

For information about setting up your Genesys Multicloud CX private edition platform, see Software Requirements.

The following table lists the third-party prerequisites for the Tenant Service.

Third-party services
Name Version Purpose Notes
Kafka 2.x Message bus.
Consul 1.13.x Service discovery, service mesh, and key/value store.Starting with version 100.0.100.0041, Tenant Service supports Consul 1.10.
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.
PostgreSQL 11.x Relational database.NOTE: Starting with version 100.0.100.0041, Tenant Service supports PostgreSQL 11.x.


Before deploying Tenant Service, you must provision a PostgreSQL database for Tenant Service using one of the following methods:

  • Create a PostgreSQL database specifically for use by Tenant Service.
  • Use the shared PostgreSQL database, which is recommended in the OpenShift platform.
Deploy a PostgreSQL database using the following commands:
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
 
helm install -n voice <tenant id>postgres bitnami/postgresql
During deployment, you require the database information, including credentials. For the list of database parameters that you override in the Tenant Helm chart values.yaml file, see Backend parameters in Override Helm chart values.
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.
