# Spark Infra, Deployment & Platform Config

This section is for DevOps engineers ready to deploy Sunbird Spark on their own infrastructure. It covers everything from provisioning a cluster to getting the platform up and running.

***

### How Spark works

Sunbird Spark is a three-part process.

**1. Provision your infrastructure**

Sunbird Spark runs on a Kubernetes cluster. Before anything is installed, you need a cluster ready on your cloud provider — Azure AKS, GCP GKE, or on-premises. The cluster needs to meet minimum size requirements, support persistent volumes, and have a registered domain with DNS control.

**2. Run the installer**

Once your infrastructure is ready, the one-click installer takes over. It provisions cloud resources, deploys all Sunbird services onto the cluster in the correct order, configures certificates, waits for DNS propagation, and seeds the platform with initial data — all in a single run.

**3. Enable add-ons** `(optional)`

After the base installation is complete, optional add-ons can be deployed independently to extend the platform's capabilities — such as QR code–based content linking, community discussion forums, and video streaming.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://sunbird.gitbook.io/sunbird-spark/quick-start/spark-infra-deployment-and-platform-config.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
