Description

@corneliusludmann

Summary:

A review, and subsequent fixes and improvements to the KOTS installation UI

Context:

The current experience using the KOTS installation UI is not as good as we want it to be. There are several issues we want to work on - using the limited tools we have at our disposal (KOTS UI only has limited functionality). Issues:

  • We don't link to the docs as much as we should to give more context
  • We have not reviewed the ordering and grouping holistically since first creation - it has grown organically
  • You currently have to use the config-patch for a few settings, mainly workspace resources. We want to minimize the usage of the config patch and instead use the UI as it is less error prone.

--> There is a limit to what we can do, and that is the availiable UI building blocks of the KOTS UI
--> Note: We will need to be very careful about rolling this out - this has the potential to break users configurations, and thus we need to test this before it goes out and provide a detailed explanation on how to upgrade!

Value

Improve the onboarding and installation experience for our Self-Hosted customers in order to increase the self-servicability of Gitpod Self-Hosted and hopefully reduce the likelyhood of misconfugration (&incidents).

Measurement

Ask customers for feedback of the "improved" installation UI once released - iterate on this.
