Clouds & Deployments

Introduction

After you deploy your source code and resources, you can operate and conduct IT Ops as well as check the metric analytics for all deployed services in every environment.

The behavior differs between environments based on the infrastructure you have select for the environment you are working in.

Bare Metal

This infrastructure only supports running service maintenance operations if your services are created using SOAJS Framework.

The interface visualizes the cloud of microservices deployed as well as the cloud awareness among them and provides you with list of maintenance operations that you can run on each service.

If you need to restart the microservices or pull and apply code updates on them, you need to do that yourself.

Now since you will handle deploying, starting and restarting microservices, the wizard provides a Download Profile Button, that downloads a copy of the Profile to use for this environment whenever you are launching a new service so that this service can reach the core database and pull the registry of the environment it will run in.

Container Technology

If the infrastructure uses container technology, in addition to visualizing the cloud of deployed microservices, the interface also displays the metrics of each deployed service, the number of replicated instances and several IT Operations that you can run on these services.

Operation Name	Category	Available in SOAJS For	Description
Inspect	SOAJS Nginx Clusters ELK Miscellaneous	Service - Controller - Daemon	Inspect the Catalog Recipe that was used to deploy this service.
Scale	SOAJS Nginx Clusters ELK Miscellaneous	Service - Controller - Daemon	Scale the service Horizontally by adding or removing instances.
Auto-scale	SOAJS Nginx Clusters ELK	Service - Controller - Daemon	Automatically scale the service by adding or removing instances based on the CPU usage percentage.
Delete	SOAJS Nginx Clusters ELK Miscellaneous	Service - Controller - Daemon	Delete the service and all its instances.
Logs Monitoring	SOAJS Nginx Clusters ELK Miscellaneous	Service - Controller - Daemon	Monitor the Logs of every instance of a service.
Restart Service	SOAJS Nginx Clusters ELK Miscellaneous	Service - Controller - Daemon	Restart a service using the same catalog recipe that was use to create it. Mostly used to pull code updates after service was deployed.

Heartbeat	SOAJS	Service - Controller - Daemon	Checks if the service/daemon is alive
Reload Registry	SOAJS	Service - Controller - Daemon	Reloads the Registry (Environment) configuration
Reload Provision	SOAJS	Service - Daemon	Reloads the ACL and custom tenant configuration ( servicesConfig )
Awareness Status	SOAJS	Controller	Reloads the Awareness of the Controller
Load Daemon Status	SOAJS	Daemon	Return information about the Daemon Status
Reload Daemon Configuration	SOAJS	Daemon	Reload the Daemon's Group Configuration
Redeploy Service	SOAJS Nginx Clusters ELK Miscellaneous	Service - Controller - Daemon - Nginx	Redeploys a container, read here for more information in case of a catalog recipe update and here in case of an image update.

Node Management

Container Technology also supports Nodes Management where Nodes refer to the machines that host containers when using container technology.

Click on the Nodes tab and based on the container technology you selected in i nfrastructure, the interface will provide the supported management operations accordingly.

Node Management - Docker Swarm Technology	Node Management - Kubernetes Technology
