Configure to deploy on the internal network

This section contains the procedure to deploy DX on the internal network.

How to deploy DX on the internal network

To deploy DX on the internal network (with no public access), we need to add the platform-specific annotations for the HAProxy service. Update your custom values.yaml file with the annotation specific to your cloud provider. Refer to the list of annotations.

annotations:
  service: 
    # Annotations for haproxy service.
    haproxy: []

Example for GKE:

annotations:
  service: 
    # Annotations for haproxy service.
    haproxy:
    - key: cloud.google.com/load-balancer-type
      value : "Internal"

How to update the existing deployment

Follow the steps to update an existing deployment from an external network to an internal network or vice-versa:

Note

Update to the network type results change in IP address and requires updates to your DNS services.

Disable haproxy in your custom values.yaml file and then do helm update.

Example:

  # Controls which application is deployed and configured
applications:
  --
  --
  # Deploys haproxy
  haproxy: false

After updating your custom values.yaml file, run helm update command.

helm upgrade dx-deployment -n <your namespace> . -f ./<your customized `values.yaml` file>

Example:

helm upgrade dx-deployment -n dxns . -f ./cloud-deploy-values.yaml

After the update is completed, enable HAProxy and add annotations specific to your cloud provider in custom values.yaml file.

# Controls which application is deployed and configured
applications:
  --
  --
  # Deploys haproxy
  haproxy: true
  --
  --
# Annotations for different DX Resources.
# Type: Array of objects
# Sample values for core:
# core:
# - key: KEY1
# value: VALUE1
# - key: KEY2
# value: VALUE2
annotations:
  service: 
    # Annotations for haproxy service.
    haproxy:
     - key: cloud.google.com/load-balancer-type
       value : "Internal"

Note

To switch your existing deployment from an internal network to a public network, remove the annotation from the haproxy service.

After updating values.yaml with annotations, run helm update command.

helm upgrade dx-deployment -n <your namespace> . -f ./<your customized `values.yaml` file>

Example:

helm upgrade dx-deployment -n dxns . -f ./cloud-deploy-values.yaml

Do a helm update with your existing custom values.yaml file to make sure all the updates are present in the deployment.

Run the helm update command with the updated values.yaml file.
```
helm upgrade dx-deployment -n <your namespace> . -f ./<your customized `values.yaml` file>
```
Example:
```
helm upgrade dx-deployment -n external-lb . -f ./cloud-deploy-values.yaml
```
