Problem

There are scenarios where the app in civo marketplace is deprecated. Deprecation means:

• The helm chart/k8s manifest used to deploy the app is no longer valid (it can be due to multiple reasons like the app code is removed from github, company behind the app is acquired and the app is rebranded with different name, the app is incompatible with the k8s version like incase if its using deprecated k8s api's , etc)
• The helm chart/k8s manifest is invalid (there are scenarios where the marketplace app is pulling config from non-stable branch which is in bad shape)
• The docker image for the app is no longer available (usually happens when the registry to host the image is changed)

So such deprecated apps can’t be used, I guess for now such apps are disabled once detected.

The real problem is it takes time to identify such deprecated apps, unless someone using it notify us.

We need a mechanism to get notified about such scenarios, so that:

• the maintainers of the app will be notified to fix the issue
• or if it takes time to fix it, such apps can be quickly disabled in the marketplace.

I recommend to have automated jobs that runs regularly to check the validity of apps.
