Topology
The topology is an application’s graph of nodes and their relationships, which describes the lifecycle events or other operations that each node and relationship exposes for use in workflows.
Each of the blueprint’s nodes is displayed as a square container, which can contain other nodes. Each node has a title describing its name, and an icon to indicate the node’s type.
Relationships between nodes are marked with arrows, starts from the connected node and ends at the target node.
The topology view shows only the application nodes and not the network nodes. If a node has a network dependency, it will be displayed as a bullet icon in the node’s title.
The number of node instances is marked in a bullet beside the node’s type icon.
Clicking a node’s title will open a side panel with details of the selected node.
