Linking Resources

How to link Resources?

Linking resources refers to establishing connections between different resources, enabling them to interact and share information with each other.

Linking a Postgres resource to a Service resource

In this example, we will be linking a Postgres resource to a Service resource using Environment Variables.

2. Navigate to the Blueprint tab and select the Service resource you want to connect to the Postgres resource.
3. Access the Configurations tab and click Environment Variables.
4. Now, click Add Environment Variables.
5. In the pop-up that appears, select Resource Reference.
6. Now, select the corresponding Postgres database, enter the Name and select the required Value.
7. Click Save.

You have successfully linked a Service resource with a Postgres database.

Linking a Service resource to an Ingress resource

In this example, we will be linking a Service resource to an Ingress resource using Ingress Rules.

1. First, ensure you have both a Service and an Ingress resource created within your Blueprint.
2. Navigate to the Blueprint tab and select the Ingress resource to which you want to connect your Service resource.
3. Access the Configurations tab and click Configure.
4. In the Form mode, under Ingress Rules, click Add New Entry.
