Support for kubernetes-based deployment of ProGet and InedoDB?

[jeff.williams_1864]

I have a Kubernetes/OpenShift-based deployment of the Pro Trial of Proget with the embedded database. We will be deciding whether to purchase licensing soon. Since Inedo does not seem to have an official supported Kubernetes/OpenShift deployment, will support still be provided for the clustered ProGet application and the InedoDB products?

Thank you

Hi @jeff-williams_1864 ,

ProGet for Linux (Docker) is fully supported. You deploy it how you'd like, and many customers use container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes with no problem.

However, we only provide step-by-step instructions for Docker. This is intentional, as these platforms are quite complex and require a lot of skills to configure, maintain, and troubleshoot.

While we try to help support "platform issues" on Windows (i.e. everything from permissions to Domain configuration), that's a lot more straightforward for us to support -- and Microsoft can pick up the slack (e.g. a failed Windows update, etc).

So long story short, if you are comfortable with Kubernetes/Openshift, feel free to use it. But otherwise, we don't want ProGet to be our users' "first Kubernetes" experience :)

Thanks,
Alana

Thanks Alana, that is fair. I am mainly wanting to make sure that the app remains supported regardless of whether I deploy it on Linux using docker, or on a kubernetes platform. It is assumed there is underlying platform support that will be on us.
