About
This repo deals with the high-level configuration of Cloud Services. main.yml
contains the source of truth for CS apps, and the akamai
folder deals with updating our Akamai configuration.
Branch syncing
These branches sync:
- ci-beta -> nightly-beta -> qa-beta -> stage-beta
- ci-stable -> nightly-stable
- qa-stable -> stage-stable
Adding Config for New Apps
To enable a new app in our environments, you need to create configuration for it in main.yml
, and then create a PR to merge it into the ci-beta
branch. The configuration for the non-prod beta branches is kept in sync, so changes to ci-beta
will automatically be merged into nightly-beta
and qa-beta
(as mentioned above).
When you need this config added to another environment (prod-beta
, ci-stable
, qa-stable
, prod-stable
), please open another PR for that environment. If you have any concerns about this process, feel free to ping #forum-clouddot-ui on Slack for assistance.
Here is some example configuration that demonstrates the structure, using all required and optional properties:

Required Properties (All Apps)
Each of the following properties is required for all apps:
app_id
This is your app's ID. It's used as the path to your app, and must be unique.
app_id.title
The main title for your app. This is what you want everyone to see when they use your app.
app_id.deployment_repo
This is the location of your app's deployment repo (not development repo). These repos generally have build
or deploy
as a suffix.
API Properties
The following properties are used if your app has an API:
app_id.api.versions
This is the list of API versions your app can use. Since v1
is the default, you'll usually want at least that one defined.
app_id.api.subItems
If your API consists of multiple APIs, you can list them here. Each has the same signature as {app_id.api}
.
app_id.api.apiName
If your API is accessible on a URL other than /api/{app_id}/{versions[0]}/openapi.json
, you can change it by passing the correct name. The URL will look like /api/{apiName}/{versions[0]}/openapi.json
Frontend Properties
The following properties are used if your app has a frontend:
app_id.frontend.title
If you want the name of your app to appear differently on the frontend, set this property to override it.
app_id.frontend.app_base
If you want this app to use the same codebase as another existing app, set this value to the ID of that app.
app_id.frontend.module
To indicate chrome how to load the application for federated modules you need to pass this property. It can either be a magic link containing yourApp#./RootApp
for most applications. If you want to be more specific you can pass in module object containing appName
, scope
and module
app_id.frontend.module.appName
To indicate chrome loader from what app to load your fed-mods config.
app_id.frontend.module.scope
To indicate federated modules scope of your application (you can have multiple scopes per one app). This is usually your application's name (same as appName
).
app_id.frontend.module.module
To indicate which module should be loaded when rendering your app (you can have multiple modules per one scope). This is usually ./RootApp
app_id.frontend.module.group
If you have a first-level application, this field indicates which group should be managed by this module.
app_id.frontend.module.manifest
If your application shares same manifest as other app or your manifest is located on completely different path, you can pass the path to it in this option.
app_id.frontend.paths
This is the list of URL paths where your app will be located.
app_id.frontend.sub_apps
If your app is a parent to any other apps, those apps should be listed here. Also, if your app has a parent app, or is listed under one of the top-level bundles (e.g. Insights, RHEL, Hybrid), you should add your app to the appropriate sub_apps list.
Here are some notes on defining the items in sub_apps:
- If you specify the title field, the sub-app will be self-contained, and it will not look up the app's ID elsewhere in the config.
- If the title is specified, the sub-app's path will be determined by its ID.
- If the title is not specified, the ID will be used to find the app's details in the rest of the config.
app_id.frontend.reload
If your app will be located under some other app, but isn't managed by that app, you can use this property to override the automatic generation of the URL. This property is commonly used for Settings apps, and tells Chrome's navigation the actual URL of your app.
app_id.frontend.suppress_id
This property is used if the app isn't a real app on disk, and only exists for navigation purposes. This removes the app ID on the frontend so that the nav bar works as expected.
Other Optional Properties
The following properties aren't required for all apps, but may still apply to your app:
app_id.productId
The Red Hat product ID for your application. This is tied to fields on Portal Case Management for pre-filling information.
app_id.infoId
Some applications are mounted in two locations, but use the same base repo (ex. RBAC and MUA), in this case MUA needs to point to RBAC's app.info.json, so this is the base app for that url.
app_id.channel
This is the ID of the slack channel on ansible.slack.com that you want automatic notifications to be posted to.
app_id.description
This is a description of your app's purpose or functionalities, which is used by some other apps.
app_id.disabled_on_prod
Setting this value to true
will disable the app from deploying to Prod (and appearing in Prod). This applies to both stable
and beta
releases.
app_id.docs
This is the link to your app's documentation.
app_id.source_repo
This is the URL of the development (not deployment) repo for your app, i.e. the one you commit to.
app_id.mailing_list
This is the mailing list associated with your project. Used to automate email notifications.
app_id.top_level
If this is set to true
, your app will be a top-level app, which is usually reserved for bundles (Insights, RHEL, Hybrid, Openshift, etc).
Use this if your app does not have a parent app or bundle.
permissions.method
If you want to hide any navigational element based on some chrome's logic, this is the right property. This defines the function to be used in order to hide nav item. (Chrome's list of methods)[https://github.com/RedHatInsights/insights-chrome#permissions].
permissions.args
If the permissions.method
requires some arguments in order to properly work, this is how to pass them to it: an array of items.
permissions.apps
If you want to control visibility for multiple navigation items you can specify one permission per entry and list which apps from frontend.sub_apps
should be checked.
Akamai API Access
Before you can run the property-updating script locally, you need to have access to the Akamai API.
To do this, follow the steps located here. In step 5 of this doc the guide instructs you to set the Access Level of the Diagnostics Tools API to READ_WRITE; do this but also set the Access Level of the Property Manager API (PAPI) to READ-Write. Otherwise you will not have authorization to the configurations of Cloud Services. Make sure that the .edgerc
file you create is located in your home
directory and has the credentials defined in the [default]
section of the file.
If you're able to run the sample call at the end of the doc, you should be able to run the script. If you run into issues, there may be something wrong with your .edgerc
file.
For more information on the Akamai API, read the property manager docs.
Build Process
This repository has a webhook that automatically builds a Jenkins job on every push. To configure this webhook, check the project's webhook settings

similar to this (make sure you are editing the one in beta/config
):
