Create a Core Instance

TELEMETRY PIPELINE

After you’ve installed a Core Operator in your Kubernetes cluster or Linux environment, you’ll need to create a Core Instance in that environment before deploying any pipelines.

If you used Pipeline CLI to install your Core Operator in a Kubernetes cluster, use Pipeline CLI to create a Core Instance. If you used Helm to install your Core Operator in a Kubernetes cluster, use Helm to create a Core Instance.

If you installed your Core Operator in a Linux environment, use Pipeline CLI to create a Core Instance.

If you’re creating a Core Instance in a Linux environment, set your Linux environment variables.
Run the following command to create a new Core Instance:
```
calyptia create core_instance operator --name INSTANCE
```
Replace INSTANCE with the name you’d like to give your new Core Instance.

To create your Core Instance in a specific namespace, add the --kube-namespace NAMESPACE flag, and replace NAMESPACE with the namespace where you want to create the Core Instance.

If you’re using custom certificates or your own certificate authority, add the --no-tls-verify flag.

Next steps

After you’ve created a Core Instance, you can configure its behavior and begin to create telemetry pipelines. Additionally, you can view and manage your Core Instances in the Telemetry Pipeline web interface (opens in a new tab).
