Installation Reference

Installation Reference#

This page covers advanced installation options for AIM Engine. For a basic install, see the Getting Started guide.

Helm Chart Configuration#

All configuration is done through Helm values. See Helm Chart Values for the complete reference.

Operator Resources#

Adjust operator resource limits for larger clusters:

helm install aim-engine oci://docker.io/amdenterpriseai/charts/aim-engine \
  --version <version> \
  --namespace aim-system \
  --create-namespace \
  --set manager.resources.limits.memory=8Gi \
  --set manager.resources.requests.memory=512Mi

Leader Election#

Leader election is enabled by default (--leader-elect in manager.args). This ensures only one operator instance is active when running multiple replicas for high availability.

Metrics#

The metrics endpoint is enabled by default on port 8443 with TLS. To disable TLS for the metrics endpoint:

helm install aim-engine oci://docker.io/amdenterpriseai/charts/aim-engine \
  --version <version> \
  --namespace aim-system \
  --set 'manager.args={--leader-elect,--metrics-secure=false}'

CRD Management#

CRDs are distributed as a separate Helm chart and should be installed before the operator. See Installation.
