Adding additional deployment targets for an application

To deploy multiple editions of the same application, use the functions of the application edition manager to add new deployment targets for the application.

Before you begin

Create the new deployment targets. See Creating dynamic clusters for more information.

About this task

Only one application edition can be active for a specific deployment target. To add additional deployment targets for an application and the associated editions, install, activate, and perform a rollout on a new edition.

Procedure

  1. Install a new edition of the existing application on the new deployment targets. You must specify the same targets for the new edition as the targets specified for the base edition. See Installing an edition for more information.
  2. Activate the new edition. Activating marks an edition as available to be started. In the administrative console, click Applications > Edition control center > application_edition > Activate.
  3. Create a multi-cluster routing policy to route requests to the new edition. See Rules for ODR routing policy administrative tasks for more information.
  4. Validate the new edition. See Validating an edition for more information.
  5. Deactivate the current edition and replace it with the new edition. See Performing a rollout on an edition for more information.

Results

You added new deployment targets for an existing application, and deployed multiple editions to specific targets.
