Resource initialization

If you’re not using a source integration, you can use a Git push option to specify a resource initialization strategy. To do so, run the following command:

upsun push --resources-init=INITIALIZATION_STRATEGY

For example, to use the minimum strategy for your deployment, run the following command:

upsun push --resources-init=minimum

git push upsun -o resources.init=minimum

Note that you can specify a different resource initialization strategy for each of your deployments.

If you’re using a source integration, you can use the --resources-init flag to specify a resource initialization strategy.

To specify a resource initialization strategy when creating your source integration, include the --resources-init flag in your source integration options.
For example, if you set up a GitHub integration, use the following options:

platform integration:add \
  --project PROJECT_ID \
  --type github \
  --repository OWNER/REPOSITORY \
  --token GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN \
  --base-url GITHUB_URL
  --resources-init INITIALIZATION_STRATEGY

To specify a resource initialization strategy for an existing source integration, run the following command:

upsun integration:update --resources-init=INITIALIZATION_STRATEGY

For example, to use the minimum strategy for your deployment, run the the following command:

upsun integration:update --resources-init=minimum

Run the following command:

upsun environment:branch --resources-init=INITIALIZATION_STRATEGY

For example, to use the minimum resource initialization strategy, run the following command:

upsun environment:branch --resources-init=minimum

1. Navigate to the environment you want to branch from.
2. Click Branch.
3. Enter a name and a type for the new environment.
4. Select an initialization strategy from the proposed list.
5. Click Branch.

Run the following command:

upsun environment:merge --resources-init=INITIALIZATION_STRATEGY

For example, to use the manual resource initialization strategy, run the following command:

upsun environment:merge --resources-init=manual

1. Navigate to the environment you want to merge into its parent.
2. Click Merge.
3. Select an initialization strategy from the proposed list.

4. Click Merge.

When you restore a backup using the CLI, you can restore it to your current environment or a different environment.

Backup restoration to your current environment

Each container already running on the environment keeps its existing resources.

You may have deleted containers between the moment you took the backup, and the moment you restore it.
By default, code is restored as part of the backup. Therefore, previously deleted containers are restored using the backup strategy, which grants them the same resources they were using when the backup was taken.

When you restore previously deleted containers, you can specify a different resource initialization strategy for them.

Backup restoration to a different environment

The backup strategy also applies by default. However, as all the apps and services are initialized as new containers on the environment, you can specify a different resource initialization strategy for all of them.

Specify a resource initialization strategy when restoring a backup via the CLI

Run the following command:

upsun backup:restore --resources-init=INITIALIZATION_STRATEGY

For example, to use the minimum resource initialization strategy, run the following command:

upsun backup:restore --resources-init=minimum

When you restore a backup using the Console, it is restored to your current environment.

Each container already running on your current environment keeps its existing resources. Therefore, you don’t need to specify a resource initialization strategy.

Run the following commands depending on your needs:

• Sync only resources:

  Terminal

  upsun sync resources

• Sync only code:

  Terminal

  upsun sync code

• Sync only data:

  Terminal

  upsun sync data

• Sync everything:

  Terminal

  upsun sync code data resources

  You can adjust the command depending on the exact combination of elements you want to sync.

1. Navigate to your Production environment.
2. Click Sync.
3. Select the sync options you want from the proposed list.
4. Select Sync resources from Production into Staging.
5. Click Sync.
