Role in the deployment¶

Unleash holds the DE's feature toggles, including the maintenance flag that puts the DE into a read-only banner state. The DE reads it through the Unleash section of the deployment configuration: base URL, API path, API token, and the maintenance flag name.

Prerequisites¶

• Unleash database created.
• The Unleash group variables filled in; see cluster resources.

Deploy¶

From the cluster resources checkout, substituting the namespace the DE runs in:

kubectl apply -f resources/deployments/unleash.yml -n <NAMESPACE>

Verify¶

kubectl -n <NAMESPACE> get pods -l app=unleash
kubectl -n <NAMESPACE> logs deploy/unleash --tail=50

Unleash runs its own schema migrations at startup, so the first start after a version bump takes longer than usual. A pod that restarts repeatedly on first boot is normally failing to reach the database.
