New member : Camryn Ochs from Texas A & M. Started at Oct 1st at A&M. Systems adminsitrator. Worked on cyber security.

Deployment and infrastructure at LRZ, Munich

@Florian Gleixner and @Florian Kreft 

Kubernetes Deployment by LRZ

• automatically generating an HA postgres cluster

• installing Okapi as a custom Helm chart / with Hazelcast config

• Helm charts for authentification and for all other modules

• The same Helm chart is now being used for all modules of the FOLIO installation

• everything is being installed with Helm, except for one or two secrets

• One Okapi chart, one "secure supertenant" chart. 

• One Helm chart for each tenant. One Helm chart per set of modules (not one for each module).

• How to handle upgrades and service pack upgrades ? What is the best solution ?

----------------

Jason: Going from SP1 to SP2, I post the entire .yml file, but Okapi leaves those modules, that did not change, alone.

Florian G: On Upgrades, you have to change the env var of the Kafka topic. Need to find out the best way to do this.

Jason: data exports also needs S3 storage, we have it in /usr/verticles/storage/files

Florian G: Some variables are only for 1 or 2 Helm charts. How to keep global values (but this has no high priority).
