Configuring the Kubernetes cloud connector

Important

The cloud connector for this application is will be disabled until further notice. BMC recommends that you configure the on-premises connector instead. For more information, see, see Configuring-the-Kubernetes-on-premises-connector.

As an automation engineer, you configure the connector and the actions supported by the connector are displayed while creating a policy. When BMC Helix Intelligent Automation receives an event from BMC Helix AIOps or BMC Helix Operations Management for which you want to resize a deployment or delete a pod in Kubernetes cloud instance, you can create an automation policy to execute the specified actions.
