Orchestrator - Single Action NetApps visibility #171

Closed Artonus closed 1 year ago

Artonus commented 1 year ago

Description

The aim of this feature is to enable communication between multiple NetApps. This scenario makes a few assumptions:

The NetApps that can communicate with each other are placed in a single Action during planning
All NetApps will know about each other's existence
The addresses of the other NetApps are exposed through Environment Variables
The environment variable is named exactly as the NetApp it exposes. With exception that instead of -, there are _ and name is uppercase

Fixes: #161

What has been changed?

Feature: NetApps within the same action are exposed to each other through environment variables
Doc: documentation of the process
