Automation and EJBCA Deployment

Container deployment options, including Helm Charts and Ansible playbooks, are available to make your continuous deployment of EJBCA smooth.

Challenge

Improving PKI installation efficiency and security

Organizations continue to leverage technological advances in the area of DevOps and cloud-native computing such as containers, automation tools, and processes to improve efficiency and security. Your PKI infrastructure components should be able to do the same!

Solution

Helm charts and open-source Ansible playbooks

Containers perform faster, are lighter, and can be managed and automated more easily than virtual machines. Combined with Helm and Ansible, you can pull up and down any instance and configuration as you need them.

EJBCA is available for immediate deployment:

In Kubernetes using Helm
Using our open-source Ansible playbooks for any of these use cases:
- Deploy or upgrade EJBCA
- Deploy a full PKI, with CA, RA and VA (EJBCA Enterprise only)
- Deploy an external RA (EJBCA Enterprise only)
- Deploy an external VA (EJBCA Enterprise only)

Note: EJBCA Enterprise is available for a free 30-day trial on AWS and Azure marketplaces.
