Installs

What is an Install?

An install is an instance of an application running in a customer cloud account. When an install is created, each component in your application will be deployed in the correct order, alongside a runner which is responsible for managing the software.

Install Lifecycle

When an install is created, the following components are provisioned:

sandbox - the base infrastructure for networking and compute.
runner - the Nuon managed runner that manages the install.
components - the parts of your application.

When an install is deleted, each component will be deleted in reverse order, according to its dependencies, and then the runner and sandbox are destroyed.

Install Management

The cli exposes many operational commands to manage an install.

To see all available commands, run: nuon installs --help.

Pinning an Install

You can pin an install, which will set it’s ID as a default argument to all install commands. This is helpful to avoid having to pass -i to each command.

nuon installs select

To show the currently pinned install:

nuon installs current

Install Sandbox Commands

Install Components

Each component is deployed to an install when it is first created. When a component is created after an install has been provisioned, it will automatically be deployed to it upon the first release.

The Nuon CLI provides the following commands to manage install components:

Show Deploys - show deploys for an install.

nuon installs list-deploys

Deploy Logs - print logs for a deploy.

nuon installs deploy-logs -d <deploy-id>

Deploy Plan - print a deploy plan for an install.

nuon installs print-deploy-plan -d <deploy-id>

Deploying to a specific install

While iterating on your application’s configuration it can be helpful to deploy to a single install, you can do this by creating a release and targeting a single install id.

nuon releases create -i <install-id> -c <component>
