This documentation provides comprehensive instructions for the installation and upgrade of Collibra Platform Self-Hosted (CPSH) expanded capabilities and necessary supporting components. Each capability is deployed using a dedicated Zarf package, which must be installed sequentially for a successful upgrade or new feature deployment.
This document assumes that you are installing Technical lineage. Click here for specific Edge-based information.
Note Third-party application instructions in this document are based on the current version of the CPSH installation for Technical lineage and Edge. It is recommended to use the steps in this document for a successful installation, as updates to third-party software documentation may not reflect the current version of the CPSH application.
Before you start the installation, you need all of the following information to ensure an easy, successful installation process.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites are for air-gapped CPSH and require the following:
- A properly installed and configured DCG (required before Zarf package installation)
- Valid admin user credentials
- A cloud environment configured with a Kubernetes cluster and necessary storage buckets (such as S3)
- Required installation of open source tools
- FIPS Mode: Collibra must be installed in FIPS mode for Air-gapped Edge installation to support required cryptographic modules.. (See Install CPSH for more information.)
For Air-gapped deployments, FIPS mode is mandatory to ensure that all data encryption and secure communications use compliant cryptographic algorithms while disconnected from the public internet.
