Project with Stages

In Keptn, a project is a structure that allows organizing your services. A project is stored as a repository and contains branches representing the multi-stage environment (e.g., dev, staging, and production stage). In other words, the separation of stage configurations is based on repository branches.

Create a project

To describe the stages of a project, a shipyard file is needed that specifies multi-stage delivery worklow as shown by an example below.

Note: To learn more about a shipyard file, see declare shipyard before creating a project.

stages:
  - name: "dev"
    deployment_strategy: "direct"
    test_strategy: "functional"
  - name: "staging"
    deployment_strategy: "blue_green_service"
    test_strategy: "performance"
  - name: "production"
    deployment_strategy: "blue_green_service"
    remediation_strategy: "automated"

• Recommended approach for Keptn in production: Create a project with the Keptn CLI using a Git upstream:

  keptn create project PROJECTNAME --shipyard=FILEPATH --git-user=GIT_USER --git-token=GIT_TOKEN --git-remote-url=GIT_REMOTE_URL
  

• Demo/Lab setting: Create a project with the Keptn CLI without a Git upstream and no backup:

  keptn create project PROJECTNAME --shipyard=FILEPATH
  

Delete a project

To delete a Keptn project, the keptn delete project command is provided:

  keptn delete project PROJECTNAME

Note: If a Git upstream is configured for this project, the referenced repository or project will not be deleted. Besides, deployed services are also not deleted by this command. To clean-up all resources created by Keptn, please follow the information displayed here: Helm - Clean-up after deleting a project

Update a project

Updating a project is currently supported by following the steps of deleting a project and creating the project with updated settings.
