Description

Describe the task We want a fully deterministic process for deploying and maintaining redis, so we need to create a template and deploy as part of some pipeline.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Templates in source control
  • Instructions + script for deploying
  • ??? Part of pipeline? If so - which pipeline? Which product?

Additional context

  • Redis is used extensively by various process in wps. The current redis deployment configuration being used was manually created in openshift 3.* use the service catalogue. In 4.* the equivalent process would be to use helm developer catalogue to create a deployment.
  • We could have multiple applications/projects using redis. e.g. wps-api uses redis, cronjobs, tileservers etc. etc. we need to consider - do we need one redis server? many? do we just have a template that we manually run? do we include it as part of the pipeline?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing Redis deployment configuration in OpenShift service catalog, review the repository's deployment templates and pipeline definitions, and understand how other services like wps api and cronjobs are deployed to determine the best approach for Redis deployment.
