Before you begin

requirements:

an OCI registry to store artifacts
a running k8s cluster with konfidence installed (see quickstart guide)
clone sample-app/quickstart repo: github.com/konfidence-project/example-app

Example application

based on istio examples, pure k8s deployments
product-page / reviews / details
ratings not included in quickstart because of external database dependency

Build your first Artifacts

steps:

publish app artifacts with kden CLI: kden artifact push -f component-constructor.yaml
check VectorTemplate status: kubectl get vectortemplate vector-dev
first vector should be created now (might take few minutes for reconciliation)
in OCI registry, you should see a new artifact created for the vector

what's happening now:

vector is available, StageConfiguration for dev stage can now pick it up and create the corresponding Stage in the cluster
Stage reconciliation deploys all artifacts of the vector and assigns them dev stage
internal routing rules are rolled out and allow east-west traffic between artifacts in the dev stage
activation makes services externally available

Assemble a Vector

steps:

create a new VectorTemplate for the dev vector
assign to a stage with StageConfiguration
