Overview

What You’ll Accomplish

By the end of this demo you’ll have a full UDS Core deployment running locally on k3d, including:

• Keycloak for identity and SSO
• Authservice for SSO flows in mission applications
• Istio for service mesh networking
• Grafana and Prometheus for observability
• Loki for log storage and Vector for log aggregation
• Falco for runtime security
• Velero for backup

No production infrastructure or cloud account required.

Note

The local demo is for evaluation and development only. It is not intended for production use.

Steps

1. Set Up Your Environment

   Install and verify the tools you need: Docker, k3d, and the UDS CLI.

2. Install and Deploy UDS

   Deploy the k3d-core-demo bundle and watch UDS Core come up on a local cluster.

3. Add Your Own Package (optional)

   Build a UDS package, add it to the demo cluster, and see end-to-end platform integration.
