Installation
Prerequisites, Helm installation, and verification for Veneer.
Getting Started
Install and configure Veneer for cost-aware Karpenter provisioning.
Before installing Veneer, ensure the following prerequisites are in place:
- Karpenter (v0.32+) – Veneer manages NodeOverlay resources that Karpenter consumes for instance selection decisions.
- Lumina – Provides the AWS Savings Plan and Reserved Instance cost metrics that Veneer queries via Prometheus. See the Lumina documentation for setup instructions.
- Prometheus – Lumina exposes its metrics to Prometheus, and Veneer queries Prometheus to retrieve them. Any Prometheus-compatible server works.
The installation guide walks you through deploying Veneer via Helm, configuring it to connect to your Prometheus instance, and verifying that NodeOverlays are being created correctly.
