Deploying to cloud hub

1. Deploying to CloudHub

2. • You can deploy a CloudHub application from:
• Anypoint Studio - Right-click your project and click Deploy to Anypoint Platform →
Cloud.
• Runtime Manager - in the cloud-based version of the Anypoint Platform. Go to the
Runtime Manager section, and then from the Applications tab, click the Deploy
application button.
• This page describes the options on the Deploy Application panel that is identical in both
cases.

3. From Anypoint Platform
• To deploy an application:
• Sign in to the Anypoint Platform or click Sign up on the sign on
page.
• Hover your mouse over the Runtime Manager icon and click on it,
or click Open

4. Click Deploy application:
The Deploy Application page opens:

5. • Limitations
• Only a CloudHub Administrator can move applications between environments.
• To avoid domain name conflict, an application cannot exist in two
environments at the same time. Alter the application’s name slightly to deploy it
to another environment.
• You cannot move the same application into the same environment. CloudHub
prevents you from duplicating applications in a single environment. If you wish to
have the same, or similar applications in a single environment, modify one
application’s file to distinguish it from the original.

6. From Anypoint Studio
• You can easily deploy your applications to CloudHub, straight from
Anypoint Studio. This is specially helpful if you’re still developing the
application and want to deploy it often to an online test environment.
• With your application open in Anpoint Studio as a Mule Project,
Right-click on the project node in the package explorer. Then select
Deploy to Anypoint Platform > Cloud from the cascading menu.

7. • If this is your first time deploying in this way, a popup menu asks you
to provide your login credentials for the Anypoint Platform. Studio
stores your credentials and uses them automatically the next time
you deploy to CloudHub.

8. After you sign in, the Deploy Application
menu opens.

9. Creating an Application Name
• Every application requires a unique application domain name. The application
domain identifies your application in the Runtime Manager and also provides you
with a public URL, http://myapplicationdomain.cloudhub.io, for accessing the
application if it exposes any inbound endpoints.
• In the Deploy Application dialog, enter a unique application name. The
Application Name also becomes the cloudhub.io domain name that you use to
access your application; for example the Application Name, abcde is accessible at
http://abcde.cloudhub.io. Valid names contain alphanumeric characters and
dashes, and contain at most 42 characters. If the name is valid, the Runtime
Manager alerts you whether it is available or already reserved by another user.

10. Deployment Target
• If you already have any servers registered to the Anypoint Platform, you will see a
Deployment Target field that lets you specify where you want to deploy your application:
• On the CloudHub worker cloud
• On an on-premises server, server group, or cluster
• This document focuses on deploying to CloudHub, for more information on deploying to
servers, server groups and clusters, see Deploying to Your Own Servers.

11. Application File
• Upload a new file for deployment. Click the Choose file button, select
your application file, and then click Open. You can also click the Get
from sandbox button to copy a file from a non-production
environment into your current environment. (If the Get From Sandbox
button does not appear, you may first need to create a non-
production environment to view this option.)
• Note: The application file size limit is 200 MB.

12. Runtime Version
• Using the drop-down menu, select the Runtime version to which you
to deploy:

13. Worker Sizing
• After you deploy your application, you can allocate an amount and a
size for the Worker size of your application. On each application,
workers are responsible for executing your application logic.
• There are 5 different worker sizes to choose from, with the compute
and memory capacities described in the following table:
Worker Sizes
0.1 vCores
500 MB Mem
0.2 vCores
1 GB Mem
1 vCores
1.5 GB Mem
2 vCores
3.5 GB Mem
4 vCores
7.5 GB Mem

14. • Workers that have less than 1 vCore capacity (0.1 vCores and 0.2 vCores) offer
limited CPU and IO for smaller work loads. Each worker has 8 GB of storage,
which is used for both system and application storage. Applications with greater
storage needs (verbose logging etc.) should use one of the larger worker sizes - 2
vCores or 4 vCores, which have additional storage as follows:
• 2 vCores workers have an additional 32 GB of SSD storage mounted on /tmp
• 4 vCores workers have an additional 80 GB of storage, mounted as two volumes
on /tmp (40 GB), and /opt/storage (40 GB)

15. Region
• If you have global deployment enabled on your account, you can change the
Region to which your application deploys using the drop-down menu.
Administrators can set the default region on the Organization tab in Account
Settings, but that region can be adjusted here when the application is deployed, if
necessary.
• Note that applications deployed to Europe automatically have their domain
updated to http://myapplicationdomain.eu.cloudhub.io.
• Note that applications deployed to Asia / Pacific automatically have their
domain updated to http://myapplicationdomain.au.cloudhub.io.

16. Automatic Restart
• If you are deploying to a runtime that supports worker monitoring (3.4.0
runtime or later), you have the option to check Automatically restart
application when not responding. With this box checked, CloudHub
automatically restarts your application when the monitoring system
discovers a problem with your application. If this box is not checked,
CloudHub produces all the log messages, notifications, and any configured
alerts, but takes no action to restart the application.
• Read more about Worker Monitoring.

17. Persistent Queues
• Check this box to enable persistent queues on your application.
Persistent queues protect against message loss and allow you to
distribute workloads across a set of workers. Before you can take
advantage of persistent queueing, your application needs to be set up
to use queues. See CloudHub Fabric for more information.

18. Properties Tab
• You can also optionally specify properties that your application requires.
This allows you to externalize important pieces of configuration which may
switch depending on the environment in which you’re deploying. For
example, if you’re using a Mule application locally, you might configure
your database host to be localhost. But if you’re using CloudHub, you might
configure it to be an Amazon RDS server.
• To create an application property, click the Properties tab and set the
variable by either using a text key=value format or by using the list format
with two text boxes. After you’ve made the change, click Apply Changes.

19. Overriding Properties in CloudHub vs. On-Premises
Mule Runtimes
• Just like with on-premise Mule runtime deployments, applications
that you deploy to CloudHub can still bundle their own property
placeholder or secure property placeholder files inside the deployable
archive file. CloudHub substitutes these properties into the
application when the application starts. With an on-premise Mule
runtime, there are several ways you can override property values
bundled inside the application.

20. Overriding Secure Properties
• Note that you can flag application properties as secure so that their
values are not visible to users at runtime or passed between the
server and the console. You can also include an
'applications.properties' file in your application bundle, which can
include properties that are marked as secure, and they will be
automatically treated as such. These properties can also be overriden
by new values you can set via the Runtime Manager console at
runtime. See Secure Application Properties for more information.

21. Insight Tab
• The Insight tab lets you specify metadata options for the Insight
analytics feature. For more information, see Insight.

22. Logging Tab
• The Logging tab lets you change the logging setting (INFO, DEBUG,
WARN, or ERROR). For more information, see Viewing Log Data.

23. Static IPs Tab
• To enable a static IP address for your application, go to the Static IPs
tab, then check the Use Static IP checkbox.
