Managing applications and application groups↑
You can follow the steps in the following demo video or follow the the instructions in the following sections to use the various CAEPE features.
This guide shows you how to manage applications and application groups from the CAEPE account portal. You can access the configuration section from the Configuration -> Applications menu item.
Info
Applications represent an instance of an application running on a cluster or cluster group. Application groups are logical groups of applications running on a cluster or cluster group.
Viewing applications↑
You can see the applications associated with your account in the center of the page by clicking the Applications tab, which is selected by default.
You can switch the view of the applications between a "list" and "grid" view and filter the applications by clicking the Filters button. You can filter by application name, status, and type.
Each entry in the list or grid shows the current status of the application, the repository it uses, and its deployment status. Click the pencil icon to edit the application and the wastebasket icon delete to delete it.
Application details↑
Click the View app link next to any application to see an overview of the detail of the application and any clusters the application is currently deployed to. You can also edit and delete the application from the details page.
Create an application↑
Create an application by clicking the New Application button.
In the first step of the form, set a name and description for the application, and any metadata tags you want to add.
In the next step, select the repository that contains the definition of the application, the branch of the repository to use, and the namespace to use or create for the application.
Warning
When you delete an application, CAEPE doesn't delete the associated namespace. You need to manually delete the namespace using kubectl, for example, kubectl delete namespace {NAMESPACE_NAME}
In the last step, select the type of deployment and the path to the files in the repository that define that application.
CAEPE supports the following application types:
- Kubernetes manifest files in YAML or JSON
- Helm charts
- YAML
- Custom
