Suryaa graciously tried out the patch and was able to get it to work with some finagling. One of the issues is that cropped up is we don't include the necessary module permissions for cloud mode to the JVM args on startup by default. I thought I had added these a long time ago but I remembered wrong I suppose. I have a patch up to add these by default to all packaging by including them in the generated appassembler helper script: https://asterix-gerrit.ics.uci.edu/c/asterixdb/+/21477/1 I'll go ahead and try deploying this on a real k8s cluster soon as well. I think originally I only tried this on k3s or minikube, not something with a real storage provider and all that.
