Deployment Types

Deployment Types#

There are 3 ways to deploy an application

Code Deployment
Image Deployment
Custom Deployment
MarketPlace Deployment

Image Deployment#

This deployment requires an image name (docker image) and if the image is private then you need to add the secrets in the ‘create secret’. If the secret is already created the select from then select from drop down list

To Deploy using image name:

Type or copy paste the image name
Specify the secrets, if the image is in a private repository.

If the secret is already created then select from the drop down list to deploy using an image.

Custom Deployment#

If your project is stored locally, the Custom Deployment option provides the flexibility you need. This method requires you to upload a source code archive file. If your code isn't Dockerized, you'll need to choose a runtime. However, if your project is already Dockerized, no additional runtime selection is necessary. Here, you also have the option to add or upload a custom Docker file or specify the Docker file path.

1. Uploading Source Code#

Follow these steps to upload your source code archive file:

Navigate to the "Custom Deployment" section in the deployment settings.
Click on the upload button to select and upload your source code archive file.

2. Choosing Runtime#

If your project isn't Dockerized, you need to select a runtime. Choose from the available runtimes that best suit your project requirements. This step is crucial for ensuring compatibility and proper execution of your application.

3. Dockerized Projects#

If your project is already Dockerized, you can skip the runtime selection. The deployment system will recognize the Docker configuration and use it accordingly.

4. Custom Docker File#

If you have a custom Docker file for your project, follow these steps:

Click on the "Add/Upload Custom Docker File" option.

Upload/Edit your custom Docker file.

5. Specifying Docker File Path#

If your Docker file is in a specific location, you can specify the file path:

Click on the "Specify Docker File Path" option.
Enter the path to your Docker file.
