Deployment Settings

Deployment Settings are additional settings and instructions provided to Conductor manager on how to handle a deployment created out of this blueprint.

Declaration

Default Schedules setting

This deployment setting allows you to define a list of deployment schedules to be created for any deployment which is based on this blueprint.

deployment_settings:
  default_schedules:
    sc-1:
      workflow: ...
      since: ...
      timezone: ...
      recurrence: ...
      count: ...
    sc-2:
      ...

Default Schedules schema

Keyname	Required	Type	Description
`workflow`	yes	string	The name of the workflow the schedule should execute, e.g. `install`.
`execution_arguments`	no	dict	Schema of arguments to be passed directly to the workflow execution (detailed below).
`workflow_parameters`	no	dict	Schema of additional parameters to be passed to the workflow execution as kwargs.
`since`	yes	string	A string representing the earliest possible time for the execution to run. Supported formats: `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM`, `HH:MM`, or a relative time expression such as `+2 weeks` or `+1day+10min`.
`until`	no	string	A string representing the latest possible time for the execution to run. Supported formats: `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM`, `HH:MM`, or a relative time expression such as `+2 weeks` or `+1day+10min`.
`recurrence`	no	string	Recurrence on the scheduled execution. e.g. `2 weeks`, `30 min` or `1d`. Mandatory if `count` is other than 1.
`timezone`	no	string	The timezone to be used for scheduling, e.g. `EST` or `Asia/Jerusalem`. By default, the local timezone will be used. Supports any timezone in the TZ database wikipedia
`weekdays`	no	list	A list of weekdays on which to run the execution, e.g. `su,mo,tu`. If left empty, runs on all weekdays.
`count`	no	number	Maximum number of times to run the execution. If left empty, there’s no limit on repetition.
`default_enabled`	no	boolean	If set to `false`, the created schedule will not run executions until manually enabled by the user. If not provided, defaults to `true`.
`stop_after_fail`	no	boolean	If set to `true`, once the execution has failed, the scheduler won’t make further attempts to run it. If not provided, defaults to `false`.
`slip`	no	number	Maximum time window after the target time has passed, in which the scheduled execution can run (in minutes). If not provided, defaults to 0.

Valid relative time expressions are of the form +<integer> minutes|hours|days|weeks|months|years or a concatenation of several such, e.g. +1 year +3 months. These can be also written without a space after the number, without the final s, or using the short forms min|h|d|w|mo|y.

Valid recurrence expressions are of the form <integer> minutes|hours|days|weeks|months|years. These can be also written without a space after the number, without the final s, or using the short forms min|h|d|w|mo|y.

Valid weekdays expressions are any of su|mo|tu|we|th|fr|sa, or a comma-separated list of them. These may be optionally prefixed by 1 to 4 or l- (for “last”) signifying a “complex weekday”, e.g. 2mo for “the 2nd Monday of a month” or l-fr for “the last Friday of a month”. Complex weekdays can only be used in tandem with a months or years recurrence.

All relative times are evaluated in relation to the deployment creation time. This is true when creating a deployment from a blueprint with default schedules, as well as when updating a deployment using a blueprint with default schedules.

Default Schedules execution_arguments schema

Keyname	Required	Type	Description
`force`	no	boolean	Specifies whether to force the workflow execution in case there is already a running execution.
`dry_run`	no	boolean	If set to `true`, no actual actions will be performed.
`wait_after_fail`	no	number	When a task fails, wait this many seconds for already-running tasks to return. If not provided, defaults to 600.
`allow_custom_parameters`	no	boolean	Specifies whether to allow custom parameters, which are not present in the parameters schema of the workflow.

Example

deployment_settings:
  default_schedules:
    a:
      workflow: install
      since: '2023-1-1 18:00'
      timezone: 'EST'
      count: 1
    b:
      workflow: uninstall
      since: '+4h'
      until: '2022-1-1 15:00'
      recurrence: 1w
      weekdays: [tu, we]
      count: 5
    c:
      workflow: uninstall
      since: '2022-1-1 15:00'
      until: '+1d'
      timezone: 'Israel'
      recurrence: 1mo
      weekdays: [l-fr]
      count: 10

Behavior on deployment update

When updating a deployment using a blueprint with default schedules, the following will occur: * deployment schedules defined in the old blueprint plan will be deleted * deployment schedules defined in the new blueprint plan will be created * deployment schedules created manually by the user will remain untouched

(unless coincidentally named the same as if created from the old plan - then they will be deleted)

Example

The original blueprint, used during deployment creation:

deployment_settings:
  default_schedules:
    a:
      ...
    b:
      ...
    c:
      workflow: uninstall
      ...

The new blueprint, used during deployment update:

deployment_settings:
  default_schedules:
    c:
      workflow: install
      ...
    d:
      ...

Following the deployment update: * Schedules a and b of the demployment {deployment_id} will be deleted from the manager; * A new schedule d of the demployment {deployment_id} will be added to the manager; and * A new schedule c of the demployment {deployment_id}, which runs install, will replace its previous schedule c which runs uninstall.
