To 2.0.0

The rasa-x-helm chart in version 2.0.0 supports using an external Rasa OSS deployment.

Enabling an external Rasa OSS deployment

The rasa-x-helm chart >= 2.0.0 supports an option to use an external Rasa OSS deployment. Below you can find an example of configuration that uses the external deployment.

The following configuration disables the rasa-production deployment and uses an external deployment instead.

# versions of the Rasa container which are running
versions:
  # rasaProduction is the container which serves the production environment
  rasaProduction:
    # enable the rasa-production deployment
    # You can disable the rasa-production deployment to use external Rasa OSS deployment instead.
    enabled: false

    # Define if external Rasa OSS should be used.
    external:
      # enable external Rasa OSS
      enabled: true

      # URL address of external Rasa OSS deployment
      url: "https://rasa-bot.external.deployment.domain.com"

Now you can apply your changes by using the helm upgrade command.

NOTE: Any Rasa Open Source server can stream events to Rasa Enterprise using an event broker. Both Rasa and Rasa Enterprise will need to refer to the same event broker.

You can use the rasa-bot helm chart to deploy Rasa OSS. Visit the rasa chart docs to learn more.
