Enabling an experimental feature

Enabling when installing SUSE® Rancher Prime Continuous Delivery stand-alone

All you need to do is pass something like:

--set-string extraEnv[0].name=EXPERIMENTAL_SCHEDULES \
--set-string extraEnv[0].value=true

to your helm install or helm upgrade command.

You have to use --set-string because otherwise the boolean value won’t work as expected.

Enabling when installing SUSE® Rancher Prime Continuous Delivery with Rancher

You can also activate the experimental features in SUSE® Rancher Prime Continuous Delivery when installing Rancher.

The parameters are the same, but you have to add the fleet. prefix:

--set-string fleet.extraEnv[0].name=EXPERIMENTAL_SCHEDULES \
--set-string fleet.extraEnv[0].value=true
