Design Best Practices

In the Design phase, follow these best practices:

  • Follow the naming conventions for assembly names
  • Add the “owner’s” email address to each assembly
  • Be a “watcher” for your assembly
  • Add a “description” for each platform to help other users to understand the purpose of the platform
  • Make sure that VM (instance size on compute) and JVM sizes (max heap size on Tomcat) are consistent
  • Edit the default values of the variables of each platform, as needed
  • Review the default values of each component
  • If an additional port support is required, add the secgroup component
  • To SSH into the compute, add the SSH key to the user component.
  • To ensure that the platform dependency is correct, review the design diagram
  • After creating or making changes to a design, remember to commit the design
