Changes are applied to running instances automatically or on next restart.

Deployment History#

View all previous deployments:

  • Deployment date and time
  • Version deployed
  • Deployed by (which user)
  • Status and result
  • Rollback options

Logs and Monitoring#

Access workload logs from the workload details:

  • Application Logs - Your app's output
  • System Logs - Container and infrastructure logs
  • Error Logs - Failures and exceptions
  • Access Logs - HTTP requests

Use the log viewer to:

  • Search for specific messages
  • Filter by log level
  • Export logs
  • Set up alerts

Common Issues#

Workload not starting?#

  • Check resource requirements
  • Verify configuration is valid
  • Check logs for error messages
  • Ensure ports aren't already in use

High resource usage?#

  • Monitor CPU and memory trends
  • Scale up instance count
  • Optimize application code
  • Consider caching strategies

Workload crashing?#

  • Check logs for error details
  • Verify configuration
  • Check resource limits
  • Review recent changes

Best Practices#

✓ Monitor regularly - Check workload health daily
✓ Set up alerts - Get notified of issues
✓ Use health checks - Enable monitoring
✓ Scale appropriately - Match instances to load
✓ Document setup - Keep track of configuration
✓ Review logs - Check logs regularly
✓ Plan updates - Test before deploying to prod

Tips#

  • Use meaningful names for workloads
  • Organize by environment (dev, staging, prod)
  • Tag workloads for easy filtering
  • Set resource limits based on needs
  • Monitor metrics over time
  • Set up automated alerts for issues
