SDCore Helm Charts

This repository contains Helm charts for deploying Aether SD-Core on Kubernetes.

Note that these Helm Charts can be used to deploy the Aether SD-Core. However, the user should override the values.yaml file(s) to be able to properly deploy all pods. One simple way to do so is by using the sdcore-5g-values.yaml file from Aether-Onramp, however, some values need to be accordingly updated depending on the specific deployment/setup as shown below.

It is strongly recommended to use Aether-Onramp for the deployment of the SD-Core because OnRamp, besides deploying the SD-Core, it also takes care of the networking required for the packets to be forwarded across the 5GC.
