Deckhand Configuration

Cache Configuration

Deckhand currently uses 3 different caches for the following use cases:

• Caching rendered documents (see Document Rendering) for faster future look-ups
• Caching Barbican secret payloads
• Caching jsonschema results for quickly resolving deeply nested dictionary data

All 3 caches are implemented in memory.

Please reference the configuration groups below to enable or customize the timeout for each cache:

• [barbican]
• [engine]
• [jsonschema]

Sample Configuration File

The following is a sample Deckhand config file for adaptation and use. It is auto-generated from Deckhand when this documentation is built, so if you are having issues with an option, please compare your version of Deckhand with the version of this documentation.

The sample configuration can also be viewed in file form.
