Install and Deploy¶
Sovereign Home Cloud runs the control plane for Solace Cloud on your own Kubernetes cluster. The control plane includes the Cloud Console, the Ops User Interface (UI) and the services behind them. Using the control plane you create, manage and upgrade Solace event broker services in datacenters you control. You control the Home Cloud with one Helm chart, home-cloud-control-plane, and can run it without any connection to the internet.
Early Access! Sovereign Home Cloud is in Early Access. In this release all components run as single replicas, the features and these instructions may change before General Availability.
