Deploying Falco

We have included a script to deploy Falco, called install-falco.sh, in the GitHub repository in the chapter10 folder.

The two most popular methods of deploying Falco to a Kubernetes cluster are using the official Helm chart or a DaemonSet manifest from the Falco repo. For the purposes of this module, we will deploy Falco using Helm and a custom values.yaml from the book's GitHub repository.

To deploy Falco using the included script, execute the script from within the chapter10 folder by executing ./install-falco.sh.

The steps that the script performs are detailed in the following list and will be explained in additional detail in this section.

The script executes the following tasks:

1. Creates the Falco namespace
2. Adds the charts from the falcosecurity.github.io/charts repository
3. Installs Falco using Helm in the falco namespace using the custom values file along with the custom rules file for our NGINX example
