Deprecated Deployments

This folder contains 1Password SCIM Bridge deployment methods that have been deprecated. At the time of deprecation, these deployments are still fully functional, but will no longer be updated.

Note
It is solely the deployment method that is deprecated. Deprecating a deployment method is independent of 1Password SCIM Bridge itself, or a specific version of 1Password SCIM Bridge. For information about the latest version of 1Password SCIM Bridge, please see the changelog.

Deprecated deployment method list

The following deployment methods are deprecated and will be removed from the repository on or around the Deletion Date.

Deleted deployment methods

The following is a list of deployment methods that are no longer supported and were removed from the repository upon expiration of their deperecation period. These deployment methods are no longer supported. If you previously depended on one of these deployment methods, consider one of the suggested alternatives.

Deployment	Deprecation Date	Deletion Date	Suggested Alternative	Deprecation and Deletion PRs

Process for deprecating deployment methods

Generally speaking we try to improve existing deployment methods or create additional deployment methods. However, sometimes deployment methods become no longer relevant and so may be deprecated.

Common reasons a deployment method may be deprecated include one or more of:

• It relies on tooling, utilities, or technologies that have themselves been deprecated or where new versions of the utility/technology introduced breaking changes.
• A superior deployment method using the same or similar technologies on the same or similar platform (if applicable) has been developed.

Steps to deprecate a deployment method

All deprecations will take place through a pull request and must be approved by a 1Password employee.

1. Identify a candidate for deprecation using the above criteria along with insights from Integrations Support, your experience, and changes to dependencies, required utilities, host platforms, and technologies.
   • There are no hard and fast rules here, and no single criteria. When making deprecation decisions, the focus should be on ensuring the best possible experience for 1Password SCIM Bridge users. This does not immediately imply we maintain everything forever. To produce the best possible experience may require removing non-relevant deployment methods to enable us to focus on more relevant deployment methods.
2. Open a new branch with a name conforming to deprecate/<deployment-method-name>
3. Move all assets related to the deployment method to ./deprecated/<deployment-method-name>
4. Update READMEs
   • To the Deprecated Deployments table in deprecated/README.md:
     • Add the name and link to the updated path of the deployment in /deprecated
     • Set Deprecation Date to be the current date (to be updated at merge time to the date of the merge)
     • Set Deletion Date to be approximately three months from the deprecation date (considering weekends, holidays, or other events). This may or may not be updated along with the deprecation date at merge time.
     • Add link to PR, once known, to the Deprecation PR column.
   • To the README in the repository root add:
     • Prefix the name of the deployment in the list with **(⚠️ Deprecated)**.
     • Update the URL of the linked text point to the new path of the deployment in /deprecated.
5. Put your PR up for review and approval. In your PR, please include:
   • Justification for the deprecation
   • Why updating or improving the deployment method is not possible or practical
   • Suggestions for existing alternatives, if any
   • Use internal tooling to set a reminder for both User Lifecycle Developers and Solutions Architects to delete the deprecated method on it's Deletion Date.

Steps to delete a deprecated deployment method

Deleting a deprecated deployment that has reached it's Deletion Date will take place through a pull request and must be approved by a 1Password employee.

1. Open a new branch with a name conforming to remove/<deployment-method-name>
2. On that branch, remove the directories and files associated with that deployment method.
3. Updated READMEs
   • Remove the deployment method from the Deprecated deployment method table in deprecated/README.md
   • Add the deployment to the Deleted deployment methods table.
   • Add link to the PRs used for the original deprecation, and for deletion (once known), to the appropriate column in table.
   • Remove the deployment method from README in the repository root
4. Put your PR up for review and approval.
