Deploying a custom resource

Once you create a custom resource, you can configure and customize the parameters, validate the file, and apply the changes.

Before you begin

You create a custom resource file by editing one of the provided templates. You can then configure and customize the parameters of your selected capabilities in the custom resource, validate the file, and then apply it.

About this task

When you deploy a custom resource, the operator looks for some information to know what components need to be deployed.

If the following sections are defined in the custom resource, the corresponding components are deployed:

ecm_configuration:
  cpe:
    ...
  css:
    ...
  cmis:
    ...
  graphql:
    ...
  es:
    ...
  tm:
    ...
navigator_configuration:
   ...
ier_configuration:
   ...
iccsap_configuration: 
   ...
ccxmo_configuration: 
   ...

If an optional component is set to true for the content_optional_components parameter:

content_optional_components:
    cpe: true 
    graphql: true 
    cmis: false
    css: false
    es: false
    tm: false
    ban: true 
    ier: false
    iccsap: false
    ccxmo: false

If "content" is selected as a pattern for sc_deployment_patterns parameter, then the operator deploys Content Platform Engine, Navigator, and GraphQL components by default:
```
shared_configuration:
  sc_deployment_patterns: content
```
Tip: Remove the parameter value for sc_deployment_patterns and then use the content_optional_components parameter to select the components that you want to deploy.
