Deploying or Upgrading CloudBlue Store

Requirements and Prerequisites

Before installing CloudBlue Store, ensure the prerequisites bellow:

• CloudBlue Store requires a single Kubernetes Pod with the following configuration:

  Container	CPU cores	RAM in GiB
  appstore	0.5	1.0

• A special account needs to be created individually for each provider. To obtain the account credentials, send us an email message. Please specify your company name and copy your technical account manager on the email message.

• An appstore-secret secret needs to be created in the Kubernetes namespace:

  kubectl -n <your namespace> create secret generic appstore-secret --from-literal=jira_robot_username=<your username> --from-literal=jira_robot_password_encoded=`echo -n "<your_password>" | base64`

How to Upgrade CloudBlue Store

How to Update from CloudBlue Store 1.x to 2.0 or Later

In version 2.0, CloudBlue Store was integrated with new storage. This requires credentials to be updated so that the content remain accessible after the update.
If you are updating CloudBlue Store from version 1.x to version 2.0 or later, make sure you complete the following steps before starting the component update:

1. Obtain a new login and password for CloudBlue Store. To do this, send us an email.

2. Update the secret in the Kubernetes namespace with the obtained credentials. To do this, run the following command:

   kubectl patch secret appstore-secret -p="{\"data\":{\"jira_robot_username\":\"$(echo -n '<your_username>' | base64 -w 0)\", \"jira_robot_password_encoded\":\"$(echo -n '<your_password>' | base64 -w 0 | base64 -w 0)\"}}"
   
   

   Note: Using the base64 parameter twice for the password in this command is intended. The command must be used as is, except for replacing placeholders <your_username> and <your_password> with the actual data.

3. Update the component using the generic update procedure.
