Memcached

Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data (strings, objects) from results of database calls, API calls, or page rendering.

Based on the memcached chart from the Bitnami Charts repository.

TL;DR;

$ helm install stable/memcached

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a Memcached deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install --name my-release stable/memcached

The command deploys Memcached on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip

: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the Memcached chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
image	The image to pull and run	A recent official memcached tag
imagePullPolicy	Image pull policy	Always if imageTag is latest, else IfNotPresent
memcached.verbosity	Verbosity level (v, vv, or vvv)	Un-set.
memcached.maxItemMemory	Max memory for items (in MB)	64
metrics.enabled	Expose metrics in prometheus format	false
metrics.image	The image to pull and run for the metrics exporter	A recent official memcached tag
metrics.imagePullPolicy	Image pull policy	Always if imageTag is latest, else IfNotPresent
metrics.resources	CPU/Memory resource requests/limits for the metrics exporter	{}
extraContainers	Container sidecar definition(s) as string	Un-set
extraVolumes	Volume definitions to add as string	Un-set

The above parameters map to memcached params. For more information please refer to the Memcached documentation.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release \
  --set memcached.verbosity=v \
    stable/memcached

The above command sets the Memcached verbosity to v.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/memcached

Tip

: You can use the default values.yaml
