Overview
The diagram below depicts the target topology for GCP.
Throughout this section, distribution archive means the Arize AX release tarball you download with your JWT (Helm chart, arize.sh, Terraform, examples, and offline HTML docs).
Read the ordered steps below once so you know the sequence (download → cluster → install → ingress → validate). Complete Prerequisites, including deployment types for your network model, before you start. Then open each linked page below; you can return here anytime as the hub.
For the full Helm reference, use Advanced → Helm in the HTML documentation under docs/ inside your extracted distribution archive.
Download the distribution
Obtain the distribution archive with your JWT, extract it, and review the Helm chart, scripts, Terraform, and example manifests included in the bundle.
Download and extract
JWT,
get_latest.sh, folder layout, and what to open next.GKE cluster and infrastructure
Bring an existing GKE cluster and supporting GCP resources in line with Arize AX, or use the Terraform modules shipped in the distribution archive to provision them.
Existing cluster
Node pools, labels, GCS buckets, IAM, and Workload Identity.
Terraform
Use bundled modules and README; align static IPs and outputs with ingress.
Install Arize AX
Configure
values.yaml for GCP and install the operator chart.Quick start
Use when: you want a complete example
values.yaml and a single Helm command to get running fast.Detailed walkthrough
Use when: you need every field explained, base64 secrets, optional mirroring, and
./arize.sh versus Helm called out step by step.Create ingress
Expose the UI and APIs with a Google Cloud HTTP(S) load balancer and the GCP examples, or use NGINX, Istio, Kong, or another controller with the bundled example manifests.
GCP load balancer
Static IPs,
examples/endpoints/gcp, and appBaseUrl / expBaseUrl.NGINX, Istio, Kong, …
Example paths under
examples/endpoints and ingressMode guidance.Validate the deployment
Confirm pods are healthy, ingress and DNS resolve, and the UI is reachable before sending data.
Validation checklist
kubectl health checks, ingress inspection, login, and SDK testing.Use Arize AX
