Hello DevTools SMEs,
We are seeing a few more CDK support cases, most seem to indicate
curiosity and tire-kicking. We also have a case with a customer going
a step further.
The customer in question wants to use the CDK to develop on the
desktop and deploy to an Enterprise OpenShift.
It's my understanding that there are two primary schemes:
- Push source code (perhaps using a tag like 'prod') to a source
repository accessed by the enterprise OpenShift environment. (Be it
QE, Prod, whatever).
- Push docker images to an external repository accessed by the
enterprise OpenShift.
These ideas perfectly makes sense to me. Any organization going through
the DevOps route would need this work flows.
There are nuances like use of WebHooks vs. manual pulls, Jenkins doing
the monitoring, etc.
This seems a really foundational use case for the CDK, so it seems
like something we'd want to document. I've been discussing this with
Robert Kratky but wanted to open the discussion to get more viewpoints
(and especially more users that have experience.)
These needs to ironed out , needs testing and then documentation.
Of special interest:
- The customer is indicating a desire for some widget on the
CDK-supplied OpenShift UI so he can 'push' artifacts to the enterprise
OpenShift's docker repository.
+1 . Developer tool should help move things in to the DevOps workflow.
The pipeline work going on in OpenShift might align here. Need to cross
check.
- The customer is asking if Docker version is relevant. (i.e. the
CDK's version of Docker may need to align with the external image
repository's version. True or False?)
The only requirement I think is the docker version should support the
image format present in external image repository. I do not think this
would be problem if they stick to OpenShift Enterprise.
Please consider, add thoughts to the discussion.
Thank you,
Rick
