Getting Started with Mirantis Launchpad

Launchpad is a single-binary CLI for managing MKE and MCR clusters.

Installation

Download the binary for your platform (Linux, macOS, or Windows) from the latest GitHub releases.

For Linux and macOS (AMD64 and ARM64):

  • Download the binary.
  • Make it executable: chmod +x launchpad.
  • Move it to your path: sudo mv launchpad /usr/local/bin/.

Provisioning Compute Nodes

Before using Launchpad, you must provision your compute nodes. Ensure the nodes follow the Mirantis predeployment documentation.

Terraform Helpers

Mirantis provides Terraform modules for various clouds:

Configuration (launchpad.yaml)

Create a launchpad.yaml to define your cluster. A minimal configuration includes:

  • Hosts: IP addresses, usernames, and roles (manager, worker).
  • MKE Product: Specific versions and license information.

For a full reference, see the public documentation.

Running Launchpad

Use the apply command to start the installation:

launchpad apply --config launchpad.yaml

To remove managed products from the cluster:

launchpad reset --config launchpad.yaml
