Behavior of BDT on Container Shutdown

Container shutdown can be either graceful or not.

Graceful Shutdown

For BDT, a shutdown is considered graceful when it receives a SIGINT (Interrupt) or SIGTERM (Terminate) signal.

In case of graceful shutdown, following actions take place:

• The BDT client stops accepting the new requests and is deleted from the single pane of glass.

• The BDT server shuts down and the container is terminated.

• Any licenses in use are automatically released.

Note

In the scenarios, when shutdown is not graceful, the container is immediately terminated without deleting the client. You can either wait for the CipherTrust Manager to delete the client (When the BDT client skips sending heartbeat, it first enters into warning state. If the number of missed heartbeat count becomes equal to Heartbeat Timeout Count, CipherTrust Manager revokes the client) or can manually delete the client from the single pane of glass. Any licenses in use will be automatically released post client deletion.
