Tanzu Application Platform Organization Catalog integration

Here you will learn how to add a Spring Cloud Gateway for Kubernetes as a component of your Organization Catalog.

There are two primary scenarios:

Adding Spring Cloud Gateway to a running component
Adding Spring Cloud Gateway as a new component

Adding Spring Cloud Gateway to a component

To add the Gateway instance to a running component, you must first add the labels as shown in the example below.

apiVersion: "tanzu.vmware.com/v1"
kind: SpringCloudGateway
metadata:
  name: animal-rescue-gateway
  namespace: animal-rescue
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/part-of={PART_OF}

Take care to match the PART_OF to the name of the label app.kubernetes.io/part-of in your component.

Once applied, the gateway pods will be visible in the list of resources.

Your app page now displays the gateway pods.

Adding Spring Cloud Gateway as a new component

If you want to present the Gateway as an independent component, you still need to add the labels seen before. But matching part-of value with the one used in your component, as seen below.

apiVersion: backstage.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: my-gateway
  description: My application gateway
  annotations:
    'backstage.io/kubernetes-label-selector': 'app.kubernetes.io/part-of={PART_OF}'
spec:
  type: service
  lifecycle: experimental
  owner: default-team

Then, click Registry Entity at the top of the Catalog view and provide a IRL that points to the component descriptor file.

Tanzu Application Platform, Catalog table

Tanzu Application Platform, Register an existing component pane

This will make the new component visible in the Catalog view.
