Detailed information on the Aerospike state store component

Component format

To setup Aerospike state store create a component of type state.Aerospike. See this guide on how to create and apply a state store configuration.

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: <NAME>
spec:
  type: state.Aerospike
  version: v1
  metadata:
  - name: hosts
    value: <REPLACE-WITH-HOSTS> # Required. A comma delimited string of hosts. Example: "aerospike:3000,aerospike2:3000"
  - name: namespace
    value: <REPLACE-WITH-NAMESPACE> # Required. The aerospike namespace.
  - name: set
    value: <REPLACE-WITH-SET> # Optional

The above example uses secrets as plain strings. It is recommended to use a secret store for the secrets as described here.

Setup Aerospike

• Self-Hosted
• Kubernetes

You can run Aerospike locally using Docker:

docker run -d --name aerospike -p 3000:3000 -p 3001:3001 -p 3002:3002 -p 3003:3003 aerospike

You can then interact with the server using localhost:3000.

The easiest way to install Aerospike on Kubernetes is by using the Helm chart:

helm repo add incubator http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-charts-incubator
helm install --name my-aerospike --namespace aerospike stable/aerospike

This installs Aerospike into the aerospike namespace. To interact with Aerospike, find the service with: kubectl get svc aerospike -n aerospike.

For example, if installing using the example above, the Aerospike host address would be:

aerospike-my-aerospike.aerospike.svc.cluster.local:3000
