Deploy Genesys Web Services and Applications
Contents
Learn how to deploy Genesys Web Services and Applications.
Prepare your environment
To prepare your environment for the deployment, complete the steps in this section for either OpenShift or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
OpenShift
Log in to the OpenShift cluster from the host where you will run the deployment:
oc login --token <token> --server <url of api server>
First, confirm the cluster is running:
oc get clusterversion
Create a new project for Web Services and Applications:
oc new -project gws
GKE
Log in to the GKE cluster from the host where you will run the deployment:
gcloud container clusters get-credentials <cluster>
Create a new namespace for Web Services and Applications:
kubectl create ns gws
Deploy
To deploy GWS, you'll need the Helm package and your override files. Copy values.yaml, versions.yaml and the Helm package (gws-services-<version>.tgz) to the installation location.
For OpenShift, select the gws project you created in Prepare your environment:
oc project gws
For debugging purposes, use the following command to render templates without installing so you can check that resources are created properly:
helm template --debug /gws-services-<version>.tgz -f values.yaml -f versions.yaml
The result shows Kubernetes descriptors. The values you see are generated from Helm templates, and based on settings from values.yaml and versions.yaml. Ensure that no errors are displayed; you will later apply this configuration to your Kubernetes cluster.
Now you're ready to deploy Web Services and Applications:helm upgrade command.helm upgrade --install gws-services helm-staging/gws-services --version=<version> -n gws -f ./override.gws-services.values.yaml -f ./versions.yaml
Validate the deployment
First check the installed Helm release:
helm list –n gws
The result should show the gws-services deployment details. For example:
NAME NAMESPACE REVISION UPDATED STATUS CHART APP VERSION gws-services gws 1 2021-05-19 11:49:49.2243107 +0530 +0530 deployed gws-services-1.0.18 1.0
Check the gws-services status:
helm status gws-services
The result should show the namespace details with a status of deployed:
NAME: gws-services LAST DEPLOYED: Wed May 19 11:49:49 2021 NAMESPACE: gws STATUS: deployed REVISION: 1 TEST SUITE: None
Check the GWS Kubernetes objects created by Helm:
kubectl get all -n gws
The result should show all the created pods, services, ConfigMaps, and so on.
