Manage Snapshots

Snapshots are a stored manifest of the microservices running in your cabinet.

Codiac creates a snapshot of your cabinet any time you update the version number of an existing asset or add a new asset. Snapshots exist at the cabinet level. They are a record of all the asset versions on the cabinet at that time.

Snapshots do not include:

• Stored data.
• Configurations.
• Resource management.

The most common uses for snapshots are:

1. To rollback a cabinet to an earlier state.
2. To deploy a specific version of a cabinet elsewhere.

Snapshot rollback

Snapshots let you rollback to earlier versions of your cabinet. Click and drag the desired snapshot into your cabinet to rollback to that version. See the Cabinet guide for step-by-step instructions.

Snapshot deployment

You can use a snapshot to deploy a specific version of one cabinet into another cabinet, including a cabinet in a different environment.

This lets you use snapshots as a type of cluster-hopping. You can cluster-hop with a snapshot the same way you would an asset.
