Use a custom service architecture - Compute Nest - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

After you create a service as a service provider, you can go to the details page of the service and customize the service architecture. When a customer creates a service instance based on the service, the customer can view the service architecture in the upper-right corner of the service instance creation page. This topic describes how to configure a service architecture.

Background information

The architecture displays all cloud resources in a service in a diagram and uses arrow lines and relationship lines to connect cloud resources in the service. This displays the service process in a clearer manner and helps customers intuitively and effectively understand the resource structure of the service.

Configure an architecture

Log on to the Compute Nest console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click My Services. On the Created Services tab of the My Services page, find the service for which you want to configure an architecture and click the service name to go to the Service Details page.
On the Service Details tab, click the Service Templates tab in the Service Deployment section. On the Service Templates tab, click the Architecture tab. You can select Edit Architecture Online or Use Local Architecture to configure an architecture.
- Edit Architecture Online
  1. On the left side of the Edit page, you can view the cloud resources in the template, other cloud resources, and general icons. You can use these icons to customize the architecture of the service.
  2. On the Edit page, edit the architecture and click Save. You can view the modified service architecture on the Architecture tab.
    Note
    If your service contains multiple templates, you need to separately edit the architecture of each template when you configure the service architectures.
- Use Local Architecture
  1. Drag and drop a file to upload the file or browse local files to upload an architecture file.
  2. After the file is uploaded, the architecture is configured.
