Installation Process Overview
This overview covers Agent Router Enterprise Self-Hosted Data Plane installation: Tetrate hosts the management plane and you install the data plane in your Kubernetes cluster. For Fully Managed deployments, see Agent Router Enterprise Fully Managed; there is no customer data plane install.
The recommended order for self-hosted data plane installs is: onboarding (including the data plane credential), cluster provisioning, data plane installation, gateway installation, then SSO configuration before developer handoff. Cluster provisioning is the customer's responsibility and falls outside Tetrate support.
Self-hosted installation sequence
Step 1
Onboarding
Sign in to the management plane and complete the Admin Dashboard onboarding wizard: organization details, providers, models, and the data plane credential (wizard Step 5).
Onboarding guide →Step 2
Create cluster
Provision the Kubernetes infrastructure that hosts the data plane. Cluster provisioning is the customer's responsibility and is not covered by Tetrate support.
Review prerequisites →Step 3
Data plane installation
Install the Controller and Agent Router on the provisioned cluster. Guides cover Azure (AKS), AWS (EKS), and GCP (GKE), using either the tare CLI or Helm.
Data plane guides →Step 4
Gateway installation
Install the data plane gateway components that manage inbound access to the data plane and configure request routing.
Gateway installation →Step 5
SSO configuration
Connect an OIDC identity provider so developers can sign in to the Console and Admin Dashboard. Complete before developer handoff. SSO may already be configured during onboarding; return to the SSO guide if you deferred it.
Configure SSO →Post-install
