Issue/Introduction

How to prevent the Admin Console deployment in internet facing cluster?

When choosing a custom size deployment, the autoscale.yaml template will look for max min replicas for all pods which prevents setting admin console replicas to 0.

The check is done on Values.ssp.deployment.size = custom.

The autoscaling template checks if deployment custom -> min/max replicas else pod.replicas and you can't set min/max replicas to 0, as this makes helm command to fail.

 

Resolution

Manually change the deployment of admin console on the internet cluster:

# kubectl scale deployment sspXXXXXX-ssp-adminconsole --replicas=0

Upgrade VIP Authentication Hub to 3.3 when it will be available, to benefit the feature flag

ssp.featureFlags.adminconsole.enabled=true  (true is by default)

or false will implement and allow to make available or not the Admin Console.
