Managing Stack Builds

Stack Builds

Each stack build has its own modal and dashboard and contains information about the build spec, images, and deployment options.

Stack Build Dashboard

This dashboard shows information about:

Field	Description
Build Import Progress	Gives the user more info about how far along the build is, if it's successful, or if it hits an error.
Build Summary	Includes the build ID and a timestamp for when the build was created.
Delete Form	A form for deleting the individual build if needed.

Images

The images tab of the stack build modal shows all images built during the stack build generate process. Each image has its own build log. If there are any errors during the build process, the build log will show any information available from the platform about the individual build.

Deploy

The deploy form is split into two types. After selecting the environment the stack will be deployed to, the user must select either:

Direct
Deployment

The direct deployment will deploy all containers defined on the stack into the given environment.

As shown in the above screenshot above, the portal will do a smart scan of the existing containers in the environment. If the container identifier defined in the stack build matches an entry in the environment being deployed to options for an existing container will be present for that container. This requires the user to make selections about reimaging and reconfiguring the existing container.

For new containers, the user will see a deploy checkbox automatically checked. At this time, this cannot be unchecked.

Scoped Variables

For stacks that implement scoped variables, users can choose to select one or both checkbox options here.

Field	Description
Add New	Where any scoped variable not found in the target environment, but defined on the stack, will be added.
Replace Existing	Where any scoped variable defined in the stack that matches a scoped variable in the environment will be updated to how that scoped variable is defined in the stack.
