Lifecycle Policy

Each project gets automatically registered in the CERN Application Portal as an application with the name in the following format webframeworks-app-catalogue-<Project name>.

The Application Portal manages the lifecycle of all web resources, including projects, to ensure that information published is maintained by an active user. It directly controls the metadata and lifecycle of the website: ownership, the delegation of administrative permissions, categorization as a "Test", "Personal" or "Official" resource, and deletion of the site. Changes done to this application in the Application Portal are propagated to the Openshift project.

Info

The initial owner of the application is the user who created it.

The lifecycle of a project depends on its category:

• Official - recommended for projects and teams (Departments, Groups, Sections, Projects, HEP, Experiments, Conferences, Events, Topics, Clubs, ...):

  • Automatically reassigned to team leader or supervisor 2 months after owner leaves CERN

• Test - recommended for testing (pre-production, experimental, ...):

  • Blocked 6 months after creation (this date can be extended) or 2 months after the owner leaves CERN
  • Deleted 4 months after the blocking date

Danger

Deleting the application from the Application Portal will also delete your OKD PaaS project.
