TEADAL Demonstrates Successful Deployment of Advocate Application on Kubernetes

Authored by TU Berlin 

In a recent live demonstration, the TEADAL team showcased the successful deployment of the Advocate application on a Kubernetes cluster, leveraging both the TrustPlane and TEADAL platform namespaces. The demo also highlighted seamless integration with IPath and PostgresCol for data monitoring and validation.

The session began with syncing into the cluster server, where PostgresCol and IPaths pods were already active in the TrustPlane namespace. Concurrently, OpenCost and Prometheus services were confirmed operational in the TEADAL platform namespace.

Once deployed, the Advocate pod launched alongside the PostgreSQL and IPaths services. On startup, Advocate autonomously created a NADA claim and uploaded it to IPaths, with Akide confirming the reference. The newly generated file was immediately visible on the APAFS dashboard, demonstrating effective data propagation. The final verification step confirmed Advocate’s metrics were successfully written to the PostgresCol database.

This demonstration underscores TEADAL’s ongoing efforts to streamline secure, compliant, and efficient data product deployments across federated environments.
