This post provides a practical guide to deploying a Milvus cluster in cluster-mode on Kubernetes using Helm. It details the prerequisites (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Kubectl), the steps for setting up a Kubernetes cluster (using minikube as an example), and the Helm command for installing Milvus with Kafka enabled and Pulsar disabled. It also covers port forwarding for local access and verification of the deployment by checking Kubernetes pods. Finally, it includes a basic example of connecting to the deployed Milvus instance using the pymilvus SDK, creating a collection, inserting data, and performing a similarity search.
