Service Group Management

The service catalog allows you to view all of your services and group them so that they are organized and accessible in a single place.

This guide describes how to use service groups to help you to visualize and manage your environments.

Identify the services you want to group together

Services can be logically grouped together based on your needs. The most common use case is to group services which are related to a group of functionalities or a specific application.

Taking the example of a database working as a multi-node cluster, you may have:

  • database-primary
  • database-read-replicas
  • database-admin

It would be a good idea to group all of them under a database group.
