+# Upgrade
+
+All instructions to  upgrade this project from  one release to the  next will be
+documented in this  file. Upgrades must be run sequentially,  meaning you should
+not skip minor/major releases while upgrading (fix releases can be skipped).
+
+The format is inspired from [Keep a
+Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to
+[Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+
+## Unreleased
+
+### Static services
+
+This version introduces `Static services` and it is a breaking change in the
+blue/green deployment process. The `switch` playbook is patching static services
+instead of routes. And the `deployment_stamp` of the deployed stacks is no
+longer stored in routes, but in static services instead.
+
+In order to migrate to this new system, you have to apply the following upgrade
+process. This will not cause any downtime, but it implies a redeployment of your
+applications.
+
+#### Upgrade Procedure
+
+This procedure must be applied for every arnold application deployed.
+
+The `current` stack of your application (before applying this procedure) will be
+referenced as `BEFORE-UPGRADE-VERSION`.
+
+
+##### 1. Upgrade your arnold version
+
+##### 2. Execute the `create_services` ansible playbook :
+
+```
+bin/ansible-playbook create_services.yml -e "apps_filter=your-application"
+```
+It will create the static  services required by your application. Each variant of these static services (`previous`, `current`, `next`) willtarget nothing after this step.
+
+##### 3. Execute the `deploy` ansible playbook :
+
+```
+bin/deploy -e "apps_filter=your-application"
+```
+
+It will deploy your application and the `next` static services will target this
+stack.
+
+This step does not affect routes. So your `BEFORE-UPGRADE-VERSION` stays
+unchanged and available via the `current` route. On the other hand, the `next`
+stack you just deployed will not be reachable by any route.
+
+##### 4. Execute the `switch` ansible playbook :
+
+```
+bin/switch -e "apps_filter=your-application"
+```
+
+The switch will be done at a the static services level. So, the stack you just
+deployed will be considered as the `current` by static services and by the
+ansible playbooks.
+
+But again, this step does not affect routes. So your `BEFORE-UPGRADE-VERSION`
+stack stays unchanged and available via the `current` route.
+
+##### 5. Execute the `create_routes` playbook :
+
+```
+bin/ansible-playbook create_routes.yml -e "apps_filter=your-application"
+```
+
+This will patch the routes to target the corresponding static services. After
+this step, your `BEFORE-UPGRADE-VERSION` will be unavailable and will be
+replaced by the `current` stack you just deployed.
+
+
+##### 6.  Check and clean
+
+Check that  everything is  OK  and execute  the `clean`  playbook to  remove
+unreferenced stacks :
+
+```
+bin/clean -e "apps_filter=your-application"
+```

+## Supported object kinds
+
+Arnold applications can declare various kind of objects that will be deployed on the
+openshift cluster.
+
+### DeploymentConfig
+
+[DeploymentConfig](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.11/dev_guide/deployments/how_deployments_work.html)
+objects are declared in jinja2 template files matching the pattern `dc*.yml.j2` .
+
+> Deployment configurations describe the desired state of a particular component of
+ the application as a pod template.
+
+For the purpose of our blue/green deployment process, the name of a
+`DeploymentConfig` is dynamic: it is suffixed with a stamp that is unique to the version of the deployed application.
+
+### Service (aka `Blue/Green service`)
+
+[Service](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/)
+objects are declared in jinja2 template files matching the pattern `svc*.yml.j2`
+
+They are part of our blue/green deployment process and their name are also dynamic: they are suffixed with a deployment stamp.
+Each deployed version of an application has its own set of services and is referred to as a `stack`.
+
+Services allow components (i.e. `pods`) of a deployed application to communicate with each other while also
+ensuring that the application stack is consistent.
+
+### Static Service
+
+*Static Service* objects are declared in jinja2 template files matching the pattern `static-svc*.yml.j2`.
+
+Technically, they are pure kubernetes [Service](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/) objects.
+But in arnold, we use them for a specific case in our blue/green compatible applications.
+
+B/G Services are helpful for blue/green deployments and for internal communication inside the same application, but their dynamic name make it difficult to be used by other applications.
+That's why we introduced static services.
+
+Static services, as their name suggests, are services with a name that does not change.
+
+Static services are declined in 3 variants (i.e. the static service `foo` is declined in `foo-previous`, `foo-current` and `foo-next`).
+Each variant targets the corresponding stack.
+
+The 2 use cases for a static service are:
+
+- Exposing an application to another application
+- Exposing an application to a route
+
+### Route
+
+[Route](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.11/architecture/networking/routes.html)
+objects are declared in jinja2 template files matching the pattern `route*.yml.j2`.
+
+> An OpenShift Container Platform route exposes a service at a host name, such as www.example.com, so that external clients can reach it by name.
+
+If you want to expose your application to external clients via HTTP, you must declare a route.
+
+Routes work with static services in a blue/green compatible application. So you must declare a static service if you declare a route.
+
+Each route is declined in 3 variants:
+i.e. if you declare a route `bar`, it is declined in `bar-previous`, `bar-current` and `bar-next`.
+
+And each variant targets the corresponding variant of the static service.
+
+### ConfigMap
+
+ConfigMaps are automagically generated if you create files in the `configs` directory of a service template.
+
+For example, if I create the file `apps/my-app/templates/services/my-service/config/test.yml.j2`, a ConfigMap will be generated with a key named `test.yml` and with the content of the rendered template as a `value`.
+
+This might change in the future.
+
+### Jobs
+
+[Job](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.11/dev_guide/jobs.html)
+objects are declared in jinja2 template files matching the pattern `job_*.yml.j2`.
+
+They are launched when you deploy your application.
+
+They can be launched before (default) or after the deployment of your DeploymentConfigs.
+
+To run a job after the deployment, you must set a label `job_type: "post"`
+
+### BuildConfig
+
+[BuildConfig](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.11/dev_guide/dev_tutorials/openshift_pipeline.html) are declared in jinja2 template files matching the pattern `bc_*.yml.j2`.
+
+### ImageStream
+
+[ImageStream](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.11/architecture/core_concepts/builds_and_image_streams.html) are declared in jinja2 template files matching the pattern `is_*.yml.j2`.
+
+### Endpoint
+
+For specific cases (i.e. having a kubernetes service that targets a machine outside of the kubernetes cluster), we may want to declare a [Service](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/) without `selector`.
+
+In this case, we can manage the endpoints of the service by declaring them in jinja2 template files matching the pattern `ep*.yml.j2`
