When subscribing to an API, the subscription, its application and the selected plan are all deployed to those environment(s) where the API is found. Other environments are not affected.
When a plan or application is updated, you can manually deploy them again. This will update the deployment in all environments where that plan or application is already deployed. APIIDA API Control Plane will never deploy a plan or application into an environment where it is not required. E.g. an appliction with subscriptions only for APIs from environment A will never be deployed to environment B.
Deployment Failures
It is possible that a deployment fails, e.g. if the agent is not connected. In that case you will receive an error notification. Additionally, you will see a corresponding message in the component’s overview where you can also retry the deployment.
Deleting Components
You have two options to delete the components Applications, Subscriptions and Plans:
Remove from APIIDA API Control Plane: The component is removed from the APIIDA API Control Plane only.
Delete from Gateways and APIIDA API Control Plane: The component is first deleted on the gateways and then after success in the APIIDA API Control Plane.
For all other components only the following option can be executed:
Remove from API Control Plane: The component is removed from the API Control Plane only.
If a delete operation fails, e.g. due to a connection problem, it will be aborted. In the overview of the component you will then find different options:
Try Again: The component is first deleted on the gateways and then after success in the API Control Plane. (Appears depending on the component)
Remove from API Control Plane: The component is removed from the API Control Plane only.
Cancel: A new deployment is executed.
However, if this fails again, the component will be removed from the APIIDA API control plane, ignoring any "leftovers" in the gateways!
When an API is deleted in APIIDA API Control Plane, it is never undeployed in any enviornment.
