Description
Adds
clear_license_response_on_deploy
, which is set totrue
by default and can be configured asfalse
.This setting is introduced to handle a very specific use case where an application could send thousands of license verification requests per day, whereas the expected amount, assuming the cache is functioning correctly, is roughly one request every 6 hours.
By default, the license response is cleared on each deploy to ensure freshness. However, in certain environments where deploys are frequent and predictable, and excessive license calls are undesirable, setting this option to
false
can significantly reduce the number of redundant license verifications.An example where this might happen is when the application is configured to start a large number of pods. Each pod, when booting Avo, clears the cached response and triggers a new license request, resulting in a high volume of redundant calls.
