Install Arize AX on IBM Cloud (quick start) - Arize AX Docs

Prerequisites

Extracted tarball with arize-operator-chart.tgz and arize.sh in the current directory (Download and extract).
kubectl configured for your IKS cluster (IKS cluster and resources).
IBM COS buckets and HMAC credentials created.
For how to gather each value, base64 encoding, optional registry fields, and ./arize.sh, use the detailed walkthrough (IBM Cloud).

Helm install

From the directory that contains arize-operator-chart.tgz and your values.yaml:

helm upgrade --install -f values.yaml arize-op arize-operator-chart.tgz

Example `values.yaml` (IKS)

Adjust placeholders for your environment. Only values marked as base64-encoded should be base64-encoded.

cloud: "ceph"
clusterName: "<kubectl-context-name>"
# JWT from Arize AI, base64-encoded
hubJwt: "<JWT_BASE64>"
gazetteBucket: "<gazette-bucket-name>"
druidBucket: "<adb-bucket-name>"
# User-chosen secret, base64-encoded
postgresPassword: "<POSTGRES_PASSWORD_BASE64>"
organizationName: "<organization-or-company-name>"
# Encryption key, base64-encoded
cipherKey: "<CIPHER_KEY_BASE64>"
clusterSizing: "<sizing-option-from-arize-ai>"

# IBM COS — region must match buckets
cephS3Endpoint: "https://s3.<region>.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud"
cephS3Region: "<region>"
cephS3AccessKeyId: "<HMAC_ACCESS_KEY_ID_BASE64>"
cephS3SecretAccessKey: "<HMAC_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_BASE64>"

# IBM VPC block storage — confirm the class exists first: kubectl get storageclass
storageClassCephStandard: "ibmc-vpc-block-metro-retain-10iops-tier"
storageClassCephSsd: "ibmc-vpc-block-metro-retain-10iops-tier"

ingressMode: "tls"
collectNodeMetrics: true

# Only required if using a common node pool
historicalNodePoolEnabled: false

# URL for the Arize AX UI after ingress is configured
appBaseUrl: "https://<arize-app.domain>"
expBaseUrl: "<arize-app.domain>"

# Only required if using a private container registry
pushRegistry: "<registry-hostname>"
pullRegistry: "<registry-hostname>"

Minimum fields to verify

Area	What to set
Identity	`hubJwt`, `organizationName`, `cipherKey`, `postgresPassword`
IBM COS	`cloud: "ceph"`, `gazetteBucket`, `druidBucket`, `cephS3Endpoint`, `cephS3Region`, `cephS3AccessKeyId`, `cephS3SecretAccessKey`
Cluster	`clusterName`, `storageClassCephStandard`, `storageClassCephSsd`
Sizing	`clusterSizing` from Arize AI
Ingress	`ingressMode: "tls"`, `appBaseUrl`, `expBaseUrl` once you know the hostname
