Creating a Deployment

After you have created a dedicated queue for prioritized execution of Transactions, Templates, or Process Flows, you need to create a corresponding runtime deployment that can subscribe to and process the messages of that Queue. 

To create a runtime deployment, follow the instructions given below.

1. On the Account menu, click Maintenance.  
   
2. In the left panel, select Deployments.
   
   
3. On the Deployments manage page, click Create Deployment.

4. In the Add Deployment window, enter the details in the following fields. 
   
   

   Field	Description
   Name	A name for the deployment.
   Description	A description for the deployment.
   Minimum Pod	The minimum number of pods you want to start with.
   Maximum Pod	The maximum number of pods you want to have in the deployment.
   CPU Request	The minimum CPU cores you want to allocate to a pod in the deployment.
   CPU Limit	The maximum CPU cores a pod in the deployment can use.
   Memory Request	The minimum memory you want to allocate to a pod in the deployment.
   Memory Limit	The maximum memory a pod in the deployment can use.
   Concurrency	The maximum number of RabbitMQ messages that a pod can process at a time.
   JVM Parameters	The JVM parameters you want to specify for a pod.
   Message Count	The option to enable autoscaling based on the number of messages in Ready state in the queue. This field is enabled only if you configure and deploy the application to use KEDA for autoscaling.
   Message Count Threshold	The threshold value of the messages (in Ready state in the queue) at which you want the system to scale up/down a pod. This field appears only when you select the Message Count checkbox.
   CPU	The option to enable autoscaling based on the CPU utilization.
   CPU Threshold	The threshold value (in percentage of CPU Request defined for the pods) at which you want the system to scale up/down a pod. This field appears only when you select the CPU checkbox.
   Memory	The option to enable autoscaling based on the memory utilization.
   Memory Threshold	The threshold value (in percentage of Memory Request defined for the pods) at which you want the system to scale up/down a pod. This field appears only when you select the Memory checkbox.

5. Click Save.

   For default values for these fields, refer to the section Deployment Configuration on the page Microservice Settings - Runtime.

Activating a deployment 

A deployment that you have created can process the messages of a queue only when the deployment is active. You can activate a deployment by turning it ON on the Deployments manage page.

It may take a while for the deployment to go into the active state.
