I've placed this in the section of the Announcements that deals specifically with the Helm chart, but we also have a section on the overall Identity management changes.


The 13.0.0-alpha2 Helm chart released with Camunda 8.8.0-alpha2 establishes a new default setup to support 8.8 [Identity management updates](#identity-management-updates-saasself-managed). Currently, this setup is limited to the following components:

- The Orchestration core (Zeebe, Operate, Tasklist, and Orchestration Identity)

Does the "orchestration core" also include Optimize? That's what we have in glossary.md, but wasn't sure with how unique Optimize is.

The slack conversation is here: https://camunda.slack.com/archives/C01H4NG9XDY/p1740070705216559

But I would hold off on any immediate follow-up based on this comment #5133 (comment) - it sounds like Optimize will help take on that discussion.

We don't have "Orchestration Identity" elsewhere in the docs -- do we need to newly define this?

Part of #5133, so this could be linked if needed once that's merged.

This temporary limitation will be resolved in subsequent alpha releases.

### Helm charts

If you are using the recommended Camunda 8 deployment option ([Helm charts](/self-managed/setup/install.md)), the upgrade path from version 8.7 to 8.8 will be straightforward by changing the values file to the new syntax.

We recommend using Kubernetes and Helm to deploy and run Camunda 8 Self-Managed in production.

There are many ways you can provision and configure a Kubernetes cluster, and there are a number of architectural choices you need to make. Will your workers run in the Kubernetes cluster or external to it? You will need to configure your Kubernetes cluster and modify this to suit the architecture you are building.
