Deploy Gateway

AthenaGateway is cluster-scoped and tells the operator to create the Athena Gateway Deployment and Service in the target namespace.

1) Create The Target Namespace

The sample flow uses athena-system:

kubectl create namespace athena-system

2) Create The Admin-Key Secret

Athena admin endpoints need the static admin key (ATHENA_KEY_12).

Important rule:

• the Secret must live in the same namespace as spec.targetNamespace

Option A: Edit the sample YAML

Update config/samples/athena_v1alpha1_gateway_admin_secret.yaml and replace REPLACE_ME_BASE64 with the base64-encoded admin key.

Then apply it:

kubectl apply -f config/samples/athena_v1alpha1_gateway_admin_secret.yaml

Option B: Create it with kubectl

kubectl create secret generic athena-admin-key -n athena-system --from-literal=apikey='<YOUR_ADMIN_KEY>'

3) Apply AthenaGateway

kubectl apply -f config/samples/athena_v1alpha1_athenagateway.yaml

4) Verify

Check the custom resource:

kubectl get athenagateway
kubectl get athenagateway default -o yaml

You should see status.serviceEndpoint.

Then verify the workload itself:

kubectl get deploy,svc -n athena-system
kubectl get pods -n athena-system -l app.kubernetes.io/name=athena-gateway
