Auto-Update

By default, production clusters recieve the latest version of AppCat one week after the test clusters. The auto-update label allows the instance to update to the latest version of AppCat as soon as it is released. This feature is available for all AppCat services.

Enable Auto-Update

To enable automatic updates for a service instance, add the metadata.appcat.vshn.io/autoUpdate label to your claim:

apiVersion: vshn.appcat.vshn.io/v1
kind: VSHNPostgreSQL
metadata:
  name: pgsql-test-instance
  namespace: test-app
  labels:
    metadata.appcat.vshn.io/autoUpdate: "true"  (1)
spec:
  parameters:
    service:
      majorVersion: "16"
    size:
      plan: standard-4
  writeConnectionSecretToRef:
    name: postgres-creds

1	Enable automatic updates for this instance

The auto-update feature is primarily intended for test instances on production clusters where you want to validate new versions immediately without waiting for the regular update schedule.

Do not use this label on production instances unless you fully understand the implications and accept the risk of unscheduled updates.
