Manage Deployment Components

This page provides details of how to manage the deployment components in a package.

The deployment components within a package specify what needs to be deployed, detailing the creation and orchestration of processes.

Database components

The database fields in a package define the schema, storage manager, stream, and data access processes.

Note

A package only deploys one database component. Although multiple database definitions are allowed in a package, only one is deployed.

Warning

Calling the package add command removes an existing component if it shares the same type and name as the new component.

If you run the following command, the original copy of the mypkg database is overwritten:

bash

Copy
kxi package add --to mypkg database
# some editing of the files
kxi package add --to mypkg database

Database fields

The following command shows information on the database fields:

bash

Copy
kxi package field info Database

console

Copy

To get more info on a field use: `kxi package field info type` (only works with bold words)

Note

This resource does not have resource request/limits set. For details, refer to database configuration.

Note

Use the kxi package field info command to understand the fields associated with a Shard object. Its resources are contained within a k8sPolicy object. For example, try running kxi package field info Shard. This displays an Sm, Dap, and Sequencer, all of which contain a k8sPolicy object.

By default, resources such as CPU and Memory are not configured in the package. You can choose to set these by modifying the shard.yaml file, located in the shard directory of the package. Most editors support object spec (included at the top of file) to provide autocomplete suggestions for the fields in the shard.yaml file.

Schema fields

The following command shows information on the schema fields:

bash

Note

This resource does not have resource request/limits set. For details, refer to database configuration.

Note

Use the kxi package field info command to understand the fields associated with a Pipeline object. Its resources are contained within a k8sPolicy object. For example, try running kxi package field info Pipeline. This displays both a Worker and a Controller, each of which contains a k8sPolicy object.

By default, resources such as CPU and Memory are not configured in the package. You can choose to set these by modifying the pipe1.yaml file, located in the pipelines directory of the package. Most editors support object spec (included at the top of file) to provide autocomplete suggestions for the fields in the pipe1.yaml file.

Router components

Query routing is managed by two primary components, the Service Gateway and the Resource Coordinator. Routers are used to define the query resources when deploying your package.

For more information on how to configure a router, refer to Routing.

Router fields

The following command shows information on the router fields:

bash

Copy
kxi package field info Router

console

Configuration components

Deployment configurations are used to define global parameters for use by all the components when deploying your package. For example, the license information and any environment variables shared by all components.

Deployment config fields

The following command shows information on the deployment configuration fields:

bash

Copy
kxi package field info DeploymentConfig
