我nstall Artifactory HA on GKE in a Flash

我nstalling Artifactory on GKE, or on any Kubernetes cluster for that matter, can be complex. You have to think through several scenarios, switch back and forth between UI and command line, create a lengthy Helm command, search for acceptable parameters … and so on. All this before you have to configure certificates, licenses, database settings, node settings. But there’s more, what about future proofing it? That is, making sure it’s upgradable to newer Artifactory versions whenever they are released to get bug fixes, security patches and new features?

JFrog Artifactoryis now available on theGCP Marketplace,这使得超级容易配置和安装。我nstalling Artifactory this way makes it fault tolerant, highly available, secure and upgradable with just a few steps.
