Overview
The Overview
section contains the brief information of the application, any added tags, configured external links and deployment details of the particular application. In this section, you can also change project of your application and manage tags if you added them while creating application.
The following details are provided on the Overview page:
Fields | Description |
---|---|
App Name | Displays the name of the application. |
Created on | Displays the day, date and time the application was created. |
Created by | Displays the email address of a user who created the application. |
Project | Displays the current project of the application. You can change the project by selecting a different project from the drop-down list. |
Change Project of your Application
You can change the project of your application by clicking Project on the Overview
section.
Click
Project
.On the
Change project
dialog box, select the different project you want to change from the drop-down list.

Click Save. The application will be moved to the selected project.
Manage Tags
Tags
are key-value pairs. You can add one or multiple tags in your application. When tags are propagated, they are considered as labels to Kubernetes resources. Kubernetes offers integrated support for using these labels to query objects and perform bulk operations e.g., consolidated billing using labels. You can use these tags to filter/identify resources via CLI or in other Kubernetes tools.
Manage tags
is the central place where you can create, edit, and delete tags. You can also propagate tags as labels to Kubernetes resources for the application.

.On the
Manage tags
page, click+ Add tag
to add a new tag.Click
X
to delete a tag.Click the symbol
on the left side of your tag to propagate a tag.
Dark grey colour in symbol specifies that the tags are propagated.
To remove the tags from propagation, click the symbol
again.

The changes in the tags will be reflected in the Tags

section.
Configure PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) for Build Time Optimization
A PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) volume is a request for storage, which is used to mount a PersistentVolume (PV) into a Pod. In order to optimize build time, you can configure PVC in your application.
If you want to optimize build time for the multiple target platforms (e.g., arm64, amd64), mounting a PVC will provide volume directly to a pod which helps in shorter build time by storing build cache. Mounting a PVC into a pod will provide storage for build cache which will not impact the normal build where the image is built on the basis of architecture and operating system of the K8s node on which CI is running.
Create PVC file
The following configuration file describes persistent volume claim e.g.,
cache-pvc.yaml
, where you have to define the metadataname
andstorageClassname
.
Create the PersistentVolumeClaim by running the following command:
For more detail, refer Kubernetes PVC.
Configure PVC
In order to configure PVC:
Go to the
Overview
section of your application.On the right-corner, click
Edit
.For app level PVC mounting, enter the following:
key:
devtron.ai/ci-pvc-all
value: metadata name (e.g.,
cache-pvc)
which you define on the PVC template.
Note
: This PVC mounting will impact all the build pipelines of the application.For pipeline level, enter the following:
key:
devtron.ai/ci-pvc-{pipelinename}
value: metadata name which you define on the PVC template.
Note
: This PVC mounting will impact only the particular build pipeline.
To know the pipelinename
detail, go to the App Configuration
, click Workflow Editor
the pipeline name will be on the Build
pipeline as shown below.
