Control Plane Installation#

This section covers the installation of the NVCF control plane components, which are required for all self-hosted NVCF deployments.

By default, the NVCF self-hosted stack is deployed using the provided Helmfile (see Helmfile Installation). However, you can also install each Helm chart individually using helm install or helm upgrade (see Helm Chart Installation).

Using helm is useful when:

  • You want fine-grained control over each component’s deployment

  • Your environment doesn’t support Helmfile

  • You need to integrate NVCF components into an existing GitOps pipeline

  • You want to install only a subset of the stack
