Working with infrastructure resources

You can initially make IBM Hybrid Cloud Mesh (Mesh) aware of your cloud infrastructure by asking Mesh to discover it or by manually registering it.

Then, you can use Mesh to view your infrastructure resources. For more information about how to autodiscover your infrastructure resources, see Discovering cloud infrastructure. To register your infrastructure resources by using the Mesh console, see Registering infrastructure resources in the Mesh console. To register your infrastructure resources by using the CLI, see Registering infrastructure resources.

The following figure shows the Navigation panel.

Navigation panel
  • Click Deployment environments Environments (labeled 1) on the Navigation panel to browse to the Deployment environments page. You can view all deployment environments that you registered with Mesh, such as the clusters where your applications and services run.
  • Click Clouds Cloud (labeled 2) on the Navigation panel to browse to the Clouds page. Use the Clouds list page to view the clouds that you registered manually or automatically deployed with Mesh. Click a cloud name under each location on the Cloud details page for further cloud details. The details include the associated locations and deployment environment. For a cloud with autodiscovery off, you can add a deployment environment under a location from the Cloud details page. You can toggle cloud resources autodiscovery on to make Mesh aware of your cloud infrastructure.
  • Click Locations Location (labeled 3) on the Navigation panel to browse to the Locations page. Use the Locations list page to view the locations that you registered with Mesh. You can drill down to see the registered deployment environments within a location.
  • Click Gateways Gateway (labeled 4) on the Navigation panel to browse to the Gateways page. Use the Gateways list page to see all the registered Red Hat® Service Interconnect gateways and their associated deployment environments.
  • Click Network segment Network segment (labeled 5) on the Navigation panel to browse to the Network segments page. Use the Network segments list page to see all the network segments that are registered.
If you want to unmanage locations, deployment environments, and partitions you must first complete the following actions:
  • Locations: Unmanage or remove all the deployment environments under the location.
  • Deployment environments: Unmanage the namespaces.
  • Partitions (namespaces or security groups): Disconnect the gateway from the namespace and delete all application deployments. To delete all application deployments, delete all instances and service endpoints.
