Operate¶
This tab is for platform maintainers and administrators who deploy, configure, monitor, or evolve the ElasticBLAST control plane on Azure. If you are a researcher driving the dashboard from a browser, the User Guide is the better entry point.
Where to start¶
| Goal | Page |
|---|---|
Deploy the control plane (manual azd flow, redirect URI, lockdown) |
Deployment Reference |
| Pull latest code + build + roll out from a workstation (with snapshot + auto-rollback) | CLI Rolling Update |
| Understand the runtime topology, sidecars, network, identity | Architecture → High Level |
| Dig into the shipped Azure Container Apps layout, cost, secrets | Architecture → Container Apps |
| Inspect the MSAL + managed-identity flow and the full RBAC matrix | Architecture → Authentication |
| Read the in-progress research notes that informed BLAST result fidelity | Research Notes |
What lives here¶
- Deployment Reference — Bicep modules,
azdworkflow, post-provision steps, AKS sizing, six-sidecar template swap. - CLI Rolling Update — the
git pull+ build + rolling-update wrapper aroundquick-deploy.sh/postprovision.shfor non-browser upgrades and emergency rollback. - Architecture —
docs/architecture/— the durable system map, container app topology, and authentication design. - Architecture —
docs/architecture/— the durable system map, container app topology, and authentication design. - Research Notes —
docs/research/— investigations that informed BLAST search-space + Web BLAST compatibility decisions. Not user-facing documentation.
