It's Time to start working on the Tool

First I would suggest you to take a clone of repo and update the URL of the spring.datasource.url for "config-dev/application.properties" & "config-qa/application.properties".

• Repo Link

URL Shoul be:
For config-dev/application.properties: jdbc:mysql://{YOUR_TEAM_NAME}-db-dev-dev-dev:3306/springbootdb
For config-dev/application.properties: jdbc:mysql://{YOUR_TEAM_NAME}-db-dev-qa-qa:3306/springbootdb

Above URL is basically a "{YOUR_SERVICE_NAME}:3306/databasename"

Environment Creation

• In this part first we will be creating 2 Environments for our application.

First go to the Environment Section and click on Add a Environment button and you will be redirect to the page where we can create new environment.

Now we need to choose Dev in the checkbox for "Environment Type" as we are creating this environment as Dev and need to fill other details as well.

Suggestions for Details:-
Environment Name: Dev
Select Cluster: Demo
Select Namespace: Dev
Vault Token: <Can Leave Empty>
Sonar Token: <Can Leave Empty>

After filling all the details click on save changes button. and you will see that you have created new environment.

Now we can click on environment name that we have created and we can see that we are getting 2 options:

1. ConfigMap
2. Secrets

For DEV environment, We will be creating ConfigMap where we will be storing our application.properties config file.

You can follow the below steps to add the configmap:

Step 1: Under ConfigMap Details section click on Add ConfigMap from right side.

Step 2: Now fill the required details of ConfigMap

Config Name: application-properties
Key: application.properties
Choose `File Upload` to upload the file.
Location of file for Dev: "config-dev/application.properties"

Step3: Click on SAVE button and Yes this is that much simple to create one ConfigMap using BuildPiper.

Step4: Click on CONTINUE button and you will see that new ConfigMap has been generated.

NOTE: Follow the same steps to create QA Environment as well and this time we will be creating "SECRET". and in the end you should be having 2 environments.

Environment Type: QA
Config Name: application-properties
Key: application.properties
Choose `File Upload` to upload the file.
Location of file for Dev: "config-qa/application.properties"

Here we have completed First step of our setup and now it's time to move for next step.
