You can view failed deployments and updates to application templates for applications deployed from Application Design Center so that you can quickly respond to the changes.
In Application Design Center, you design application templates for App Hub applications and then deploy application instances from those templates. This separation of design and deployment lets you make changes to application design without impacting your running applications instances.
On the Deployments page in Cloud Hub, you can perform the following tasks:
- View failed application deployments from App Design Center and the cause of the failure. You can then investigate the failures in App Design Center by viewing the Cloud Build logs or making updates to the application. App Design Center uses Cloud Build to deploy your applications.
- View application instances that have updated application templates.
Before you begin
Ensure that you have performed the following steps:
Set up App Hub for an app-enabled folder.
Create and deploy your applications. To learn more, see the App Design Center overview.
Required roles
To get the permissions that you need to view application deployments, ask your administrator to grant you the following IAM roles on the management project in the app-enabled folder:
-
View deployments:
App Management Viewer (
roles/apphub.appManagementViewer) -
View Cloud Build logs and other data in Cloud Hub:
Cloud Hub Operator (
roles/cloudhub.operator)
For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.
You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.
To make updates to application instances or templates in App Design Center, you must have additional permissions. See the App Design Center access control documentation for information about roles and permissions.
View failed deployments
If your application deployment failed, you can view details and take a suggested action to resolve the issue.
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Deployments page,
Select an app-enabled folder from the project picker at the top of the page. If you don't know which folder to select, ask your administrator.
The Applications infrastructure deployment notifications displays the most recent failed deployments from App Design Center. The Issue column indicates the reason for the failure based on information in the Cloud Build logs. If there are no failed deployments in the selected app-enabled folder, the table is empty.
Investigate the an application failure with one of the following options:
- To investigate the identified issue for an application, click View in ADC in the table row to view the application in App Design Center.
- To view details for an application in App Design Center, click the application name.
- To view a list of all deployments, click View all Application infrastructure deployments.
View applications with available updates
If your deployed applications are based on templates have new revisions, you can view the latest revision and redeploy your application to include the latest changes.
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Deployments page,
Select an app-enabled folder from the project picker at the top of the page. If you don't know which folder to select, ask your administrator.
The Applications infrastructure updates available section displays deployed applications with an updated application template. If there are no applications with an updated template in the selected app-enabled folder, the table is empty.
In the list of application, you can view an application or template by clicking on its name. To review changes to a template and apply changes, click Review and update application. For details about applying a template revision, see Apply template revisions.
