2025-03-27 Meeting notes

Cloud/deployment

• In Cloud Run on Google Cloud Console

  • Manages Docker containers which is like a smaller VM

  • nebula-api runs in here

  • Triggers > builds and uploads a Dockerfile on push to master branch

  • Exposes a URL

• Gateway

  • Checks for a valid key

  • Auto config pulls from swagger.yaml

  • api.utdnebula.com reroutes to the gateway which has permission to access the Cloud Run URL

  • Gateway definition updating is the only part not automated

    • Made easier by a .bat script which could be automated with GitHub actions later

• Load balancer

  • Between Gateway and api.utdnebula.com

  • Google doesn’t let you route domains directly to Gateways so its required

  • Pain in the ass but shouldn’t ever need to be changed

Questions

• Info on YAML file

  • The comments in the code generate the swagger.yaml file

• Relevant tickets

  • Cloud storage tickets coming out soon

• Reach out to any current leadership with questions
