Sprint 4 - Cool Reflections

In this sprint our main focus was on building out a first iteration of the Common Components Catalogue. There is currently a staging instance of the catalogue available at the following link: http://catalogue-staging-client-apdwlc-test.pathfinder.gov.bc.ca/

Right now the catalogue consists of three views:

1. The home page, where content explaining the purpose of the catalogue is coming soon
2. The catalogue itself, where common components and services are listed
3. A detailed information page for each catalogue entry

We are very interested in community feedback on our work, so please reach out if you have any questions or comments on the product so far.

In addition, we continued to provide support to the Wildfire Predictive Services (WPS) Team to ensure the OpenShift Launchpad deployment solution reached a state of maturity for them to implement it in their project during their next sprint. This included updating the solution to enable the use of custom scripts and configuration.

Sprint Goals

• Deploy a first cut of the Common Components Catalogue following an initial style guide
• Distill learnings from our experience building OpenShift Launchpad into tickets and documentation

Next Sprint

In our next sprint we are going to focus on:

• Attempting use of Canada’s Notify service to solve a real-world use case: email notifications of OpenShift service disruptions
• Tying up loose ends on Launchpad to ensure a new team can use it easily
