Configuring the License Service
The License Service is a component of the Adeptia platform that stores connection details for a licensing authority and gathers information about the infrastructure resources your deployment uses.
What the License Service does
The License Service holds the address and credentials needed to reach a licensing authority, and it inspects the Kubernetes infrastructure hosting your deployment to collect information about nodes, CPU cores, and running service replicas.
What you provide
To configure the License Service, you supply connection details for the licensing authority. These details include:
| What you configure | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Licensing server address | The location of the licensing authority |
| Account credentials | The user identity and password for the licensing authority |
These settings are read from a configuration file. The service supports the use of encrypted property values, so credentials can be stored in encrypted form rather than plain text.
How the service fits into your deployment
The License Service runs as part of the broader Adeptia platform and operates alongside the other services that power your integrations. It communicates with the Kubernetes infrastructure that hosts your deployment to gather information about the nodes and compute resources in use, such as the number of nodes, the number of CPU cores, and the number of running service replicas. The service also reads replica counts from horizontal autoscaling policies when they are present.
