VirtualServiceBackend

Focus mode
VirtualServiceBackend - AWS App Mesh

An object that represents a virtual service backend for a virtual node.

Contents

virtualServiceName

The name of the virtual service that is acting as a virtual node backend.

Important

App Mesh doesn't validate the existence of those virtual services specified in backends. This is to prevent a cyclic dependency between virtual nodes and virtual services creation. Make sure the virtual service name is correct. The virtual service can be created afterwards if it doesn't already exist.

Type: String

Required: Yes

clientPolicy

A reference to an object that represents the client policy for a backend.

Type: ClientPolicy object
