Is repository "constellationui/service" still valid for Pega 8.8
Hey All,
I've been checking for the repositories available at https://pega-docker.downloads.pega.com.
I could see two repositories "constellation-appstatic-service/docker-image" and "constellationui/service".
I understand "constellation-appstatic-service/docker-image" is used for App-Static Installation.
What is this (constellationui/service) repository holding and is it relevant now that with infinity 8.8, Pega has separated the Constellation UI content and delivery into 2 categories and delivery mechanisms:
- JS generated by Pega engineers.
- UI assets (need to pull image from pega-docker.downloads.pega.com/constellation-appstatic-service/docker-image:1.0.9-20230111194246 )

@ROHITN26 I checked with the SME for you, and was informed that constellationui/service is *not* valid for Pega versions 8.8 and upwards. That is for pre 8.8 only.
I hope this answers your question.

The constellationui/service repository on pega-docker.downloads holds the Constellation UI Service Docker image. This service is responsible for delivering static content and front-end components for Constellation applications. In Pega Infinity 8.8, the Constellation UI static content delivery service is still relevant, as it helps to separate the Constellation container from other services, improving application performance and providing developers with the tools to create new UI components without interfering with other work.
Understanding the Pega deployment architecture > Constellation service deploy
Can not pull v8.6.0 constellation service docker image
Also check the resources I provided in your question Is Kubernetes setup a mandatory prerequisite for using constellation UI.
If I have answered your question could you mark 'Accept Solution' to my reply? If not, then @srivp4 is this a question you could answer?

@MarijeSchillern , Thanks for your response. I've initiated this question hoping this would lead to in obtaining a clarification on this one point below.
In constellation setup document, there is this mentioned - "The Infinity DSS ConstellationPegaStaticURL should be set to https://release.constellation.pega.io".
I'm guessing the above URL points to some constellation specific service located in the Pega CDN. If my understanding is correct, is there a docker image available for the same service. If so, is "constellationui/service" repository holding this docker image or if my understanding is not accurate, please shred some light on it.
Thanks again and awaiting your response !!
