Configure a Resource

The Configure Resource panel in the Topology Canvas provides a centralized interface for defining and modifying resource-specific settings. This panel allows users to configure cloud resources in real time, ensuring that each resource is set up correctly before deployment.

The Configure Resource panel enables you to:

  • Modify resource properties such as instance type, storage capacity, security policies, and networking configurations.
  • View resource-specific configuration options based on the selected cloud provider.
  • Ensure real-time validation of settings to prevent configuration errors.

Configure Parameters​

Each resource type has unique configuration options based on its cloud provider. Below are common configuration parameters:

Let's understand them in more details:

Compute Resources​

  • AWS EC2 Instance: Instance type, AMI ID, security groups, IAM roles, storage settings.
  • Azure Virtual Machine: VM size, OS image, attached disks, network interfaces.
  • GCP Compute Engine: Machine type, disk configuration, startup scripts.

Storage Resources​

  • AWS S3 Bucket: Bucket name, access policies, encryption settings, versioning.
  • Azure Blob Storage: Storage tier, replication settings, lifecycle management.
  • GCP Cloud Storage: Storage class, access control, logging.

Networking Resources​

  • AWS VPC & Subnets: CIDR block, route tables, NAT gateway settings.
  • Azure Virtual Network: Address space, subnets, security rules.
  • GCP VPC & Firewall Rules: Network ranges, ingress/egress rules.

Security and IAM Resources​

  • AWS IAM Role: Trust policies, permission policies, role assignments.
  • Azure IAM Role Assignments: Role definitions, scope settings, access levels.
  • GCP IAM Policies: User roles, service accounts, resource-level permissions.

How to Configure Resources​

  1. Click on a resource in the Topology Canvas to open the Configure Resource panel.
  2. Adjust instance sizes, networking rules, access permissions, and other parameters based on your cloud provider.
  3. The system checks for misconfigurations or missing fields and provides error notifications if any adjustments are needed.
  4. Save the updated configurations. Changes will reflect in the Topology Canvas immediately.

Validation and Error Handling​

  • The panel highlights misconfigured or missing parameters to prevent deployment issues, such as incorrect IAM roles, missing network interfaces, or improper storage encryption settings.
  • Errors such as incorrect IAM policies, unassigned network interfaces, or missing storage encryption settings are flagged for correction.
